Move over mayo, its avocado time.

This might be controversial, but Ive never been a fan of mayonnaise.

To me, its too rich, too eggy, and toogloopy.

This is most likely because I grew up in aMiracle Whiphousehold, where mayo was nowhere to be found.

While Ive retired my jar of Miracle Whip dressing, my deep love for egg salad sandwiches remains.

To this day, egg salad is one of my go-to easy lunches.

A little…. green?

Bring to a boil over high heat.

Once boiling, set a timer for 7 minutes and turn the heat down to medium.

Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to stop their cooking.

Once cooled, peel the eggs.

Set a box grater in a large bowl.

Grate the hard-boiled eggs on the largest holes of the box grater.

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.

Mash until the avocado is broken down and the ingredients are well combined.

Add the avocado mixture to the bowl with the grated eggs and mix to combine.

Add the dill and chives and stir to incorporate.

Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
