Ingredients

  • 4 egg
  • 1 avocado ripe
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chives chopped
  • 1 tbsp dill
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard or regular mustard
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 red bell pepper cut in half

Instructions

  • Add eggs to a saucepan and fill with enough cold water to cover them by about an inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover with a lid, turn off the heat and remove from heat.
    4 egg
  • Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. Carefully remove the eggs from the hot water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water. This helps stop the cooking process and makes the eggs easier to peel.
  • Once peeled, transfer eggs to a mixing bowl and use a fork to mash them.
  • Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into the same mixing bowl as the chopped eggs.
    1 avocado
  • Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. Some prefer it smoother, while others like it chunkier.
  • Add plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chives, dill, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
    2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp chives, 1 tbsp dill, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1 pinch pepper
  • If you prefer a lower-carb option, you can spoon the avocado egg salad into a sliced bell pepper, as a filling for lettuce wraps, or mixed into a salad. Otherwise you can spoon it on to whole-grain bread or crackers.
  • If using bell peppers, cut in half and remove the seeds. Spoon ½ cup of egg mixture into each half, and serve.
    2 red bell pepper

Cooking Tips

Avocado and Eggs:
Use ripe avocados and hard-boiled eggs for the base of the salad. Mash the avocados and chop the eggs finely for a creamy texture.
Greek Yogurt:
Opt for plain Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative to mayonnaise. It adds creaminess and tanginess to the salad without the extra calories and fat.
Filling the Bell Peppers:
Spoon the avocado egg salad mixture into the hollowed-out red bell pepper halves, pressing it down gently to fill the cavity completely.
Garnishes:
Garnish the stuffed bell peppers with additional chopped herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for colour and presentation.
