Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (substitute with mayonnaise for a richer flavor)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

1 tablespoon red onion, finely diced

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head of butter lettuce or romaine, leaves separated

Optional: Cherry tomatoes, halved, for garnish

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs: Begin by placing the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and covering them with cold water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs. Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. As soon as it boils, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let it sit for 10 to 12 minutes. Once the time is up, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. After a few minutes, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.

    Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, scoop out the creamy flesh of the avocado using a spoon and mash it with a fork until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice into the bowl, mixing everything together until uniform in texture and well blended.

      Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the chopped eggs, finely chopped chives, and red onion into the avocado mixture. Be careful not to over-mix; you want to maintain some texture. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take a clean lettuce leaf and place it on a plate. Spoon a generous portion of the avocado egg salad into the center of the leaf. For an added burst of color and freshness, garnish the salad with halved cherry tomatoes atop the filling.

          Serve: Enjoy these delightful avocado egg salad wraps right away, perfect as a light lunch option or a refreshing snack.
