Sometimes you get a craving. Inspired by Pinch of Yum again. Her recipe and video are here: The Best Avocado Egg Salad.   Here's my version.

avocado egg salad

Ingredients: 

• 1 small avocado 
• 2 hard-boiled eggs
• 1-2 tablespoons of dill (or herbs of your choice) 
• juice of 1/2 a lemon
• a pinch of salt

Instructions:

• Hard boil the eggs. Cover the eggs with water in a saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.  Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and rest for 8.5 minutes (this time may vary depending on your stove, but this is the time I use to get the yolks done but still creamy). Plunge the eggs into an ice bath for a few minutes and remove the shells. Cut the eggs into small pieces. 
• Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork until mostly smooth.
• Mix in lemon juice, salt, and dill. You could also add fresh parsley or trader joe's everything but the bagel seasoning, or penzey's mural of flavor, or trader joe's chili lime seasoning, or... you know whatever you love. 
• Gently, mix the eggs into the avocado blend. 
• Serve immediately at room temperature, or chill and serve cold.
