Here is what you'll need:
Ingredients
6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 large avocado, diced
1 green onion, sliced thin
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Juice of 1 small lemon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Dash of hot sauce
Arugula for serving (optional)
Instructions
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, green onion, salt and pepper until smooth.
Add the avocado and mix with spoon.
Add the sauce to the chopped eggs and mix well. As you chop it, you can use the spoon to break it up as much as you want. I like mine to stay a bit chunky.
Taste, adjust seasonings, lemon, and /or hot sauce.
Serve immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator
Serve on bread, toast point or with crackers.
Notes:
To easily dice the avocado, cut it in half, remove the core, and use a paring knife to makes cuts both ways while it's still in the shell. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Use a spoon to scoop it out.
Keep in mind this has avocado, which will eventually start to turn black. The lemon juice in the recipe will delay the turning, but it will still happen.
