Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

Instructions

  1. Place the hard-boiled eggs in a medium bowl. Mash them coarsely with a fork.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the eggs.
