Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 Avocado Provides creaminess and healthy fats; feel free to substitute with mashed banana for a hint of sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Acts as a healthier mayo alternative, adding creaminess and protein; swap for vegan mayo to make it dairy-free.
  • 4 Hard-Boiled Eggs Essential for protein and texture; use fresh eggs boiled via an Instant Pot for easy peeling.
For Flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Adds acidity and brightness; you can substitute with apple cider vinegar if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard Brings a zesty kick to the flavor profile; yellow mustard works fine for a milder alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (e.g., parsley, chives) Enhance flavor and freshness; use any beloved herbs like dill or cilantro for variation.
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Provides crunch and sharpness; substitute with green onions for a milder flavor.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Herby Avocado Egg Salad
  1. Begin by hard-boiling the eggs using the Instant Pot method for perfectly cooked yolks. Place a trivet in the pot, add 1½ cups of water, and gently load in the eggs. Set to Manual for 4 minutes and allow the pressure to release naturally for 4 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking process and ensure easy peeling.
  2. While the eggs cool, take a ripe avocado and cut it in half, discarding the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl and use a fork to mash it until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  3. To the mashed avocado, mix in a generous scoop of Greek yogurt along with a splash of fresh lemon juice and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Then, add in your choice of freshly chopped herbs and finely diced red onion. Stir all the ingredients together until they form a creamy mixture.
  4. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, carefully peel and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Gently fold the chopped eggs into the avocado mixture.
  5. Finally, taste the salad and season it with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve your Herby Avocado Egg Salad immediately for the freshest taste.
