Mashed avocado egg salad is a delicious and nutritious dish that combines the creaminess of avocado with the protein-rich goodness of eggs. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a tasty and healthy meal in no time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. This makes them easier to peel.
- Once the eggs have cooled, peel them under running water to remove the shells more easily.
- Halve the peeled eggs and transfer them to a medium mixing bowl.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a separate small bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. It can be smooth or slightly chunky depending on your preference.
- Add the mashed avocado to the chopped eggs in the mixing bowl.
- Add the mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
- Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix so the texture remains pleasant.
- Taste the egg salad and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your taste.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- For best results, use ripe, but firm avocado to achieve a creamy yet chunky texture in your salad.
- To easily peel hard-boiled eggs, place them in a bowl of ice water immediately after boiling. The cold water helps separate the shell from the egg.
- Customize your salad by adding chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of freshness.
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, mix in diced celery or red onion to add texture to your salad.
- For additional flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Mashed avocado egg salad is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed on its own, over a bed of greens, or spread on whole-grain toast. With its combination of healthy fats, protein, and a hint of zesty lemon and mustard, this salad is both satisfying and nutritious. Give it a try, and you might just find a new favorite go-to meal!
