Instructions
Step 1: Hard Boil the Eggs
Start by placing your eggs in a pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let them simmer for 9-12 minutes. After that, transfer the eggs to an ice bath.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado
While the eggs are cooling, chop the avocado. Be gentle; you want it to remain slightly chunky, giving the salad some texture.
Step 3: Chop the Veggies
Finely chop the chives and red onion. Preparing these in advance saves time later and amplifies the dish’s flavors.
Step 4: Mix the Dressing
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and capers. Blend until smooth. This will serve as the glue that holds everything together.
Step 5: Combine Everything
Once the eggs are cooled and peeled, chop them and add them to the mixing bowl along with the mashed avocado, chives, red onion, and parsley. Gently mix everything without mashing the avocado too much.
Step 6: Season it Up
Add salt and pepper to taste. Give it a final, gentle mix to ensure all flavors meld together.
Step 7: Chill and Serve
For at least 30 minutes, place the salad in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to blend beautifully. Serve it chilled with your chosen pairings!
Notes
Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the eggs and avocado, the better the flavor.
Adjust to Taste: Feel free to tweak the seasonings. Not a big fan of capers? Leave them out.
Customize Your Greens: If you want, add some spinach or arugula to the mix for added nutrition and color.
Proper Storage: Avocado can brown quickly. Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
Serving Suggestions: Serve on top of toast, in a wrap, or alongside crunchy veggies. The options are endless.
