Ingredients

For the Avocado Egg Salad

1 large ripe avocado
1 lemon, juiced
3 large eggs, hard boiled and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoon Greek yogurt
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
⅓ cup chopped parsley, plus more for serving
⅓ cup chopped dill, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
Red pepper flakes, or Aleppo pepper, optional
Extra virgin olive oil

For Serving

Bread or lettuce wrap (I used ciabatta rolls)
Romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions

Prep the avocado: Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Use a metal spoon to scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl, then immediately add the lemon juice to prevent it from browning. Use a fork to lightly mash the avocado with the lemon juice.
Mix the egg salad: Add the eggs, yogurt, celery, shallot, parsley, and dill. Season with a good pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add a small drizzle of olive oil and mix until combined. If not serving immediately, cover and keep cold in your refrigerator for later.
Serve: Top with more fresh herbs and serve on its own or wrapped in lettuce. Or, to make a sandwich, slice the bread in half and spread the egg salad on one side. Top with romaine lettuce and the other half of the bread. Serve immediately.

Notes

Leftovers and storage: Avocado egg salad can be stored, sealed tightly in the fridge, for up to 2 nights.
Don’t over-mash the avocado: A light mash brings out the creaminess and holds the sandwich together, but you don’t want to make a full puree. Mash until the avocado is creamy and chunky.
