Ingredients
Eggs: I like to meal prep hard boiled eggs. If you have an instant pot, use it to make the best easy peel hard boiled eggs. Otherwise, you can also boil the eggs on the stovetop. Avocado: The star ingredient of this recipe. Use a ripe avocado. You an keep it chunky or mash it based on your preference. Red Onions: I like to add some chopped red onions to this egg salad for some crunch. If you like, you can add some finely chopped celery too. Greek Yogurt: Add some greek yogurt for extra creaminess. If you prefer, you can substitute with mayonnaise too. Jalapeno (optional): This is completely optional. Slit the jalapeño to half, remove the seeds and membrane. Then, finely dice the jalapeño. Adjust the quantity to taste or skip. Salt & Pepper: Add to your taste. Parsley: Some chopped fresh parsley adds a wonderful aroma and taste to the salad. Lemon juice: Adds some tanginess and fresh flavors to the egg salad.
