Hard-Boil Your Eggs Perfectly
  1. Fill a medium saucepan with enough cold water to cover the eggs by at least an inch. Place the eggs in cold water before turning on heat.

  3. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for at least 10 minutes, then peel under cool running water.
Prepare the Avocado Base
  1. Cut avocados in half, scoop flesh into a mixing bowl, and add lemon juice.
  2. Mash avocado to your preferred consistency.
Chop and Prep Your Vegetables
  1. Finely dice red onion, and chop celery.
  2. Chop fresh herbs if using.
Chop the Eggs
  1. Chop the peeled eggs into rough chunks and add to the bowl with mashed avocado.
Season and Combine Everything
