A quick, healthy, and delicious lunch recipe featuring creamy avocado and egg salad served in crisp lettuce wraps, enhanced with everything bagel seasoning for a flavorful twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 butter lettuce leaves or preferred lettuce for wrapping
  • Optional: smoked paprika or cayenne pepper, dash
  • Optional: fresh dill, chives, or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes. Once cool, gently tap and peel the eggs, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Cut one ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard to the mashed avocado. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped eggs and 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions gently to keep some chunkiness.
  6. Sprinkle in 1 to 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning. Taste and add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Add a pinch of smoked paprika if desired.
  7. Rinse butter lettuce leaves and dry thoroughly. Lay them out on a plate or cutting board.
  8. Spoon a generous amount of the avocado egg salad onto each lettuce leaf. Fold or roll the leaf around the filling like a wrap. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use the off-heat steeping method for perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs. Do not over-mash the avocado to maintain texture. Start with less everything bagel seasoning and adjust to taste. Keep salad and lettuce separate if making ahead to avoid sogginess. Refrigerate salad up to 2 days.
