Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by hard boiling 4 large eggs in a pot of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then cover and remove from heat; let them sit for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Chop 1 ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons of red onion, and 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley; set aside for assembly.
- In a mixing bowl, gently scoop the cooled avocado and mash it with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the chopped hard boiled eggs, diced red onion, and mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) into the bowl. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon to enhance flavor and prevent browning. Give the mixture a gentle stir until everything is combined.
- Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper over the mixture. Start with a pinch of each and adjust according to your preference. Mix thoroughly but gently, taking care not to create a mushy texture.
- Add 1 tablespoon of chopped chives to the bowl and fold them in carefully.
- Serve immediately on whole-grain bread, in lettuce wraps, or over a bed of greens. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes
Choose ripe avocados for best texture. Avoid overmixing to maintain the avocado's chunkiness. Proper seasoning enhances the flavors, and fresh herbs can replace others for a different taste.
