Ingredients

For the Avocado Egg Salad

  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 3 large eggs, hard boiled and coarsely chopped
  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped parsley, plus more for serving
  • 1/3 cup chopped dill, plus more for serving
  • Kosher salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • Red pepper flakes, or Aleppo pepper, optional
  • Extra virgin olive oil

For Serving

  • Bread or lettuce wrap (I used ciabatta rolls)
  • Romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Prep the avocado: Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Use a metal spoon to scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl, then immediately add the lemon juice to prevent it from browning. Use a fork to lightly mash the avocado with the lemon juice.
  • Mix the egg salad: Add the eggs, yogurt, celery, shallot, parsley, and dill. Season with a good pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add a small drizzle of olive oil and mix until combined. If not serving immediately, cover and keep cold in your refrigerator for later.
  • Serve: Top with more fresh herbs and serve on its own or wrapped in lettuce. Or, to make a sandwich, slice the bread in half and spread the egg salad on one side. Top with romaine lettuce and the other half of the bread. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Leftovers and storage: Avocado egg salad can be stored, sealed tightly in the fridge, for up to 2 nights. 
  • Don’t over-mash the avocado: A light mash brings out the creaminess and holds the sandwich together, but you don’t want to make a full puree. Mash until the avocado is creamy and chunky.
