No reviews

A healthy and zesty avocado egg salad with Greek yogurt instead of mayo, packed with protein and fresh flavors.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (approx. 50g each)
  • 2 medium ripe avocados (yielding approx. 150g flesh each, 300g total)
  • 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (2% milkfat, approx. 45g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (approx. 15ml)
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (approx. 5ml)
  • 4.5 tablespoons finely chopped celery (approx. 36g, from about 1.5 medium stalks)
  • 1.5 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley or dill (approx. 6g)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin (approx. 0.5g)
  • Fine sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a full boil, then turn off heat, cover, and let stand for 10-13 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice water bath to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  3. Halve avocados, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a mixing bowl. Add yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil, then mash to desired consistency.
  4. Peel cooled eggs and roughly chop. Add to avocado mixture.
  5. Fold in celery, parsley (or dill), and cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve immediately on greens, in wraps, or as a sandwich filling.

Notes

  • To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the salad surface before refrigerating.
  • Slightly browned avocado is safe to eat but may have a milder flavor.
  • The zestiness comes from fresh lemon juice and spices.
  • Greek yogurt substitutes mayo for a healthier dressing.
