Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 ripe avocado
- 1 small lemon
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small, diced cucumber
- 8 leaves, for serving lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-10 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, halve the avocados and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Juice the lemon and add the juice to the avocados to prevent browning. Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth.
Once the eggs have finished cooking, drain and rinse them under cold water. Peel the eggs and chop them roughly.
Add the chopped eggs to the mashed avocado, and gently mix to combine.
Add the finely chopped red onion, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the egg and avocado mixture. Mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Add the diced cucumber to the mixture and gently fold it in to maintain its texture.
Serve the avocado egg salad on fresh lettuce leaves and enjoy. It's also great eaten as a sandwich filling or a topping on whole-grain crackers.
