After eating too many of the cookies I made, I decided I needed make up for all those empty calories with something much healthier. I may be biased, but this was definitely the best egg salad I've ever had!
Avocado Egg Salad
4 Servings
4 large (about 50 grams each) hard boiled eggs, peeled
1 large (about 100 grams), ripe avocado
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon lime juice
Halve avocado, remove seed, and scoop the 'meat' into a small bowl.
Add lime juice and spices.
Smash together all ingredients until you have a chunky, applesauce-like consistency.
Take hard boiled eggs and tear into small pieces that are similar in size.
Add eggs to the avocado mixture and stir to combine.
