Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 2 pieces ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces celery stalks
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, dice the avocado and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and Dijon mustard and mash together with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and fresh dill, then add them to the avocado mixture.

Step 4

Season the avocado mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring well to combine.

Step 5

After the eggs have finished cooking, drain the hot water and run cold water over them until they are cool enough to handle. Peel the eggs and roughly chop them.

Step 6

Add the chopped eggs to the avocado mixture and gently fold them in until everything is well combined.

Step 7

Finely chop the celery and halve the cherry tomatoes, then add to the egg salad.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature, either on a bed of greens or alone.
