Tips to Make Zesty Avocado Egg Salad

Choose ripe avocados: For maximum creaminess, pick avocados that yield slightly under gentle pressure.
Mix-and-match: Feeling adventurous? Swap in a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra creamy touch without the extra fat.
Egg-celent timing: Perfectly hard-boiled eggs are crucial. Boil for 9-12 minutes, then throw them in an ice bath for easy peeling!
