# Components:

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 1 large ripe avocado
03 - 2 tablespoons sugar-free mayonnaise
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
06 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

→ Lettuce Boats

10 - 1 head butter lettuce or romaine lettuce, 8 large leaves

→ Topping

11 - 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

# Directions:

01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel and chop the eggs into bite-sized pieces.
02 - In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth but still slightly chunky.
03 - Add the chopped eggs, chives, and dill to the avocado mixture. Gently fold until combined, maintaining the chunky texture.
04 - Carefully separate lettuce leaves, wash thoroughly under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.
05 - Spoon the avocado egg salad evenly into the center of each lettuce leaf, distributing portions uniformly.
06 - Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning immediately before serving to maintain crunch and optimal flavor.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's creamy and crunchy and satisfying all at once, with zero guilt attached.
  • Takes barely fifteen minutes, which means you can make it on a weeknight without stress.
  • The everything bagel seasoning does all the flavor work, so you're not fussing with endless spices.
02 -
  • If you add the everything bagel seasoning too early, it softens from the moisture in the salad and loses that satisfying crunch—wait until the last possible moment.
  • Overworking the avocado turns it from creamy into a mushy paste, so fold gently and stop as soon as everything is combined.
03 -
  • The lemon juice prevents avocado browning and adds brightness, so don't skip it even if you think you don't need it.
  • Pat your lettuce leaves completely dry after washing—any excess water will make them wilt faster and dilute the flavors you worked to build.
