4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 large ripe avocado, mashed
1 tbsp Greek yogurt (or lemon juice for dairy-free)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for tang)
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
¼ cup celery, chopped (for crunch)
2 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
Salt & black pepper to taste
Pinch of paprika or chili flakes (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Transfer to ice water to cool, then peel and chop.
2. Mash the Avocado
In a bowl, mash the avocado with Greek yogurt (or lemon juice) and mustard until smooth.
3. Mix Everything Together
