Method

Prep the Eggs

Gently peel your hard-boiled eggs. Place them on a cutting board and roughly chop them. Place the chopped eggs into a large mixing bowl.

Create the Avocado Base

In a separate, medium bowl, scoop out the flesh of your two ripe avocados. Add the Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Using a fork, vigorously mash the avocado mixture until practically pureed, creating a smooth, luxurious base.

Introduce the Aromatics

To the avocado mixture, stir in your finely chopped red onion, chives, and dill. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Combine and Fold

Pour the avocado mixture over the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold the ingredients together to coat the eggs, maintaining some chunkiness.

Taste and Adjust

Taste a spoonful and adjust seasoning with more salt, lemon juice, or pepper if needed.

Chill (Optional)

For best flavor, chill the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

This salad is excellent for meal prep and can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning. Serve over greens, in lettuce wraps, or with veggie sticks for a low-carb meal.
