Ingredients
- Eight large eggs
- Two ripe avocados, thoroughly mashed until creamy
- A generous tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- A pinch of sea salt, adjusted to personal preference
- Just a hint of chipotle chili powder, adding a touch of smoky heat
Step 1
Start by gently placing the eggs in a pot and covering them with a generous amount of water. Let it sit over high heat until the water reaches a gentle boil, which should take around 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 2
Next, carefully drain the hot water and immediately cool the eggs by running cold water over them. For a quick chill, transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them rest for about 10 minutes before moving them to the refrigerator until you're ready to use them.
Step 3
Now, it's time to prepare the eggs for the delicious mixture. Begin by peeling and roughly chopping the hard-boiled eggs.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine ripe avocado with a splash of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of chipotle powder. Gently mash the ingredients together, leaving a bit of texture if you prefer. Add the chopped eggs to the mixture and stir everything thoroughly to ensure the flavors blend perfectly.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your avocados ripe and ready by storing them in a paper bag with a banana. The ethylene gas released by the banana will help ripen the avocados faster.
- 2. Store your hard-boiled eggs in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and ready to use in your salad.
