Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich
Description
This avocado egg salad uses mashed avocado combined with Greek yogurt to create a creamy base that complements the texture of coarsely chopped hard-boiled eggs. Bright flavors come from lemon juice and finely diced red onion, with a touch of heat from jalapeño when included, and fresh parsley adds herbaceous notes. Salt and pepper round out the seasoning.
The salad is gently folded together to maintain chunks of egg throughout the creamy mixture. It can be spread on toasted bread or croissants or spooned onto lettuce leaves for a lower-carb alternative. The texture is smooth but with noticeable pieces of egg, offering a balanced mouthfeel.
Hard-boiling the eggs can be done on the stovetop or in an Instant Pot, with the latter providing easy peeling and consistent results. This salad works well for quick packed lunches or light dinners.
