Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 ripe avocado

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 stalk of celery, finely diced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: sliced radishes and microgreens for garnish

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let it sit for 12-14 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.

    Prepare the Avocado: While the eggs are cooling, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash it with a fork until you reach your desired creaminess.

      Mix the Base: To the mashed avocado, add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

        Chop Vegetables: Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped eggs, diced celery, and red onion to the avocado mixture. Gently fold everything together, being careful not to mash the eggs too much.

          Add Herbs: Fold in the fresh dill, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the salad.

            Serve: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled or at room temperature on whole grain bread, lettuce leaves, or in a wrap. Garnish with sliced radishes and microgreens if desired.

              Enjoy: This delicious Creamy Avocado Egg Salad is perfect for a light lunch or as a flavorful side dish at picnics and gatherings!
