Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 large Avocado Use a ripe avocado for maximum creaminess and health benefits.
  • 4 pieces Hard Boiled Eggs Chop roughly for a satisfying texture.
  • 1 small Red Onion Provides mild sweetness; substitute with green onion if preferred.
  • 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise Adds moisture and richness; Greek yogurt is a low-calorie swap.
  • 2 tablespoons Chives Fresh chives offer an oniony flavor; dried works in a pinch.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Lifts the salad with freshness; cilantro or dill are alternatives.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Brightens flavor and prevents avocado from browning.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Essential for enhancing flavors; adjust to taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by filling a pot with water and bringing it to a gentle boil over medium heat. Carefully add the eggs and let them cook for about 9-12 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  2. While the eggs cool, cut a ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl, and mash to your desired consistency. Add a splash of lemon juice to keep it fresh.
  3. Once cool, peel and finely chop the eggs, add them to the bowl with mashed avocado. Finely dice the red onion and fold it into the mixture with mayonnaise, chives, and parsley.
  4. Season the salad with kosher salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Stir until well combined and creamy.
  5. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves for a low-carb option or between slices of toasted bread. Enjoy fresh!
