Instructions

  1. 1

    Hard boil eggs: Place in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and rest 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling. Roughly chop the peeled eggs.

  2. 2

    Halve and pit the avocados; scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture — don't make it completely smooth. Stir in mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Fold in chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and chives until combined. Taste for seasoning — the avocado may need more lemon juice or salt. Serve immediately on toasted bread, in lettuce cups, or with crackers. (Best eaten the day it's made as avocado will oxidize overnight.)
