Let’s start by gathering our ingredients. You’ll need two ripe avocados, four hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, chopped chives, lemon juice, salt, pepper, paprika, large lettuce leaves, and toothpicks. Now, let’s dive into the preparation process!
Begin by mashing the avocados in a medium bowl using a fork. This step is crucial as it creates a smooth and creamy base for our egg salad. Once the avocados are perfectly mashed, it’s time to add the star of the show – the chopped hard-boiled eggs. The combination of the creamy avocados and the tender eggs creates a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
Next, we’ll add the diced celery and chopped chives to the bowl. These ingredients bring a refreshing crunch and a hint of herbaceousness to our egg salad. To enhance the overall taste, a tablespoon of lemon juice is added, providing a zesty and tangy note that balances the richness of the avocados and eggs.
Now, it’s time to season our avocado egg salad. Sprinkle in some salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika. These simple yet essential seasonings elevate the flavors and add a touch of warmth to the dish. Give everything a good mix, ensuring that all the ingredients are well incorporated and the flavors are evenly distributed.
To serve our Avocado Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps, we’ll utilize large lettuce leaves as a nutritious and refreshing alternative to traditional bread or tortillas. Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the avocado egg salad onto it. The cool and crisp lettuce acts as the perfect vessel, providing a satisfying crunch and a refreshing contrast to the creamy filling.
