Creamy Avocado Egg Salad

A fresh and creamy twist on classic egg salad, this avocado version is perfect for a light lunch or summer side dish.

This simple salad combines ripe avocado with hard-boiled eggs for a rich, satisfying texture. The tangy red onion, fresh herbs, and lemon juice brighten every bite.

Ready in under 30 minutes, it works as a quick lunch on toast or a light salad on lettuce leaves. No cooking beyond boiling the eggs – just chop, mix, and serve.

Ingredients

Servings 2

Optional

Converted amounts are rounded.

Method

  1. Place the finely diced avocado, roughly chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped red onion, mayonnaise, chives, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl.
  2. Stir everything together gently until well combined.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
  4. Serve immediately as is, or spoon over toast, bread, or lettuce leaves.

💡 Tips

  • For easier dicing, slice the avocado while still in its skin, then scoop out the flesh.
  • If using the salad as a sandwich filling, mash the eggs slightly more for a spreadable texture.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for a subtle kick.
