Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional, for a Mediterranean twist)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs. Place them in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth. Add the lemon juice and Dijon mustard to the mashed avocado and mix well.
  3. Pour the avocado mixture over the chopped eggs.
  4. Add the chopped celery, red onion, dill (if using), salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to the bowl.
  5. Gently fold all ingredients together using a fork or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep some texture from the eggs.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve immediately on whole-grain bread, in lettuce wraps, or with crackers.
