Healthy Recipe: Avocado Egg Salad
I love making a big batch of hard boiled eggs at the beginning of the week. I keep a few in the fridge to have on hand for a grab-n-go protein-rich snack and use the remaining for this quick and easy egg salad recipe. Serve it over a bed of greens, spread it on a piece of whole grain toast or a brown rice cake, or serve it as a dip with veggies and whole grain crackers as a snack!
Ingredients:
6 hard boiled eggs, shells removed
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
1 scallion, sliced
1/2 avocado
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp of vinegar
2 Tbsp chopped herbs or chives
1/2 tsp paprika + dash of cayenne
salt + pepper
In a bowl, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, mustard, vinegar, seasonings, and herbs. Fold in the eggs, celery and scallions. Enjoy!
