Tips for the Perfect Avocado Egg Salad

• Eggs: Ensure your hard-boiled eggs are cooked perfectly. They should be firm but not overcooked to maintain the best texture in your salad.
• Herbs: Fresh herbs bring a burst of flavor. Don’t substitute dried herbs if you can help it.
• Avocado: Use a ripe avocado for the best creaminess. It should give slightly to pressure when squeezed.
