Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 large Avocados Opt for ripe, soft avocados for the best texture.
  • 4 large Hard-Boiled Eggs For easy peeling, try the Instant Pot method.
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Acts as a healthier alternative to mayonnaise.
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard Contributes a punchy flavor and acidity.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Adds freshness and prevents avocados from browning.
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Provides sharpness and crunch; substitute with green onions for a milder flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Enhances flavor and adds a pop of color; swap with cilantro for a different twist.
For Serving
  • 4 slices Crispy Toast Use multigrain for added texture.
  • 2 cups Leafy Greens Mix in some spinach for extra nutrients.

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Using the Instant Pot, place a trivet in the bottom and add 1½ cups of water. Position your eggs on the trivet, secure the lid, and set it to Manual for 4 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for an additional 4 minutes before transferring the eggs to an ice bath.
  2. While your eggs are cooling, cut your ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocados until creamy, leaving it slightly chunky.
  3. Once your eggs are fully cooled, peel and chop them into small pieces, then add them to the bowl with the mashed avocado. Mix in Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  4. Next, dice red onion finely and chop fresh parsley. Stir them into your egg and avocado blend along with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spoon the Herby Avocado Egg Salad generously over crispy toast, multigrain crackers, or a bed of leafy greens.
