Avocado Egg Salad
Description
The Avocado Egg Salad mixes grated or finely chopped hard-boiled eggs with ripe mashed avocado which adds moisture and a rich, creamy consistency. Finely chopped dill pickles and the white part of scallions or red onion introduce tangy, piquant notes and mild crunch. Lemon juice brightens and balances the fat, while Dijon mustard is optional for added depth and sharpness. Salt and ground black pepper season the mixture evenly.
The combination yields a salad with varied textures from smooth avocado and tender egg to small pieces of pickle and onion, producing a balanced mouthfeel. The flavors are creamy with a mild tang and peppery finish. This salad is versatile as a spread for bread or crackers or as a filling served with crisp lettuce leaves.
It stores well refrigerated in an airtight container for several days, though the avocado may brown slightly while remaining safe to eat.
