2 Ingredient Avocado Egg Salad

I love Avocado and I love eggs of all kind. I've been trying to mix up how I eat this pair recently and came up with a very simple combination that makes a great "salad" or spread! I've enjoyed mine on top of salad, as a dip for vegetables or between slices of bread.

Step 1: The Ingredients

1/2 Haas Avocado, ripe (ripe enough for Guac)

1 hard boiled egg

Tools:
Fork
Bowl

Step 2: Mash the Hard Boiled Egg

Using the fork mash the egg into a paste like consistency.

Step 3: Peel and Dice the Avocado

Remove avocado from the peel (I used a spoon for this). Turn the avocado over and cut it into cubes (I did vertical strips and then horizontal.)

Step 4: Add Avocado and Mash

Also add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Thoroughly Mix the Two Together

This is a good serving size for one sandwich or a snack!

I did it!

It is excellent. A perfect blending of two different tastes.

Thank You,

I made it and I made it again and again and again. It's very very good.

Thanks for shearing.

Sounds like it would make a good base for a lot of different flavor variations - a little cilantro, for instance.

[SabrenaD]

Cilantro is great! I LOVE bacon with it too!

[Battlespeed]

Sabreno, I'm having some people over tonight and I'm gonna make up a big batch of this, split it into four parts, create different "variations" (love the bacon idea, and gonna do one with baby shrimpies) - and put it all out in a divided dipping bowl for people to snack on. If my party doesn't make the front page of the New York Times I shall have words with their food editor.

[SabrenaD]

I feel like one with pimento cheese might be an interesting combo! Good luck at your party!

It went very well and the dip was a hit, especially the versions with cooked baby shrimp and crab meat. I did add a dash of lemon juice to keep the avocado green, and mixed in the seafood ingredients just before serving. I kept the serving dish on ice. None of it lasted long enough to know if the lemon trick worked or not!

"Sabreno"?? Sorry, SabrenA!

Two days ago I was wondering if such a thing existed. Now, boom, here it is with instructions! Looks yummy!

[SabrenaD]

It is my favorite! Let me know what you think if you try it!

[Uncle Kudzu]

OK, I made some and it was delicious! I ate mine with corn chips. I did add just a whisper of mayo to the eggs as I mashed them, and then a bit of black pepper. Good Stuff!

Putting lime juice or lemon juice in anything avacado keeps the pretty green color and prevents the whole lot from turning brown. I am not sure if vinegar does the same thing, but I suspect it does. This combo sounds delicious. Perhaps some finely chopped green onions would be a nice garnish for the dips? Really nice Instructable.

While many are "hacking" your recipe I'll join that group..
A little white pepper and vegan mayo.. Maybe..

I make something similar with egg, cubed avacado, tomato, s&p, with either lime juice or balsamic vinegar. Its more a summertime thing, but awesome!

[Battlespeed]

Put de lime in de 'cado and mash it all up...put de lime in de...

Summertime!!

[SabrenaD]

Sounds delicious! My husband isn't too much into tomato but he loves lime juice, we'll have to try it.

[kakashibatosi]

I've made this before, but with the addition of salt, pepper, and lemon juice. makes a good sandwich so long as the bread is toasted.

[adamwatters]

Simple and looks delicious! I will definitely try this - thanks for sharing :)

[SabrenaD]

Absoultely! Let me know how it goes!
