Avocado, Egg, and Ham Salad

Here is slave's take on Green Eggs and Ham! Faced with a bowl bowl full of hard boiled eggs? Or perhaps you like the idea of egg salad but need to hold off the mayonnaise? Do you have a gluten problem? Lets see what we can do.

Ingredients:

• 8 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped (remove the yolks and only use 4)
• 1 medium hass avocado, cut into ½-inch pieces
  1 cup cubed ham
• 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp fat free plain yogurt
• 1 tbs yellow mustard
• ½ cup finely chopped chives
• ½ cup chopped celery
• 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
• ½ tsp Kosher salt
• pinch freshly ground pepper or sweet paprika.

 

Directions:

First line up everything you need and chop the celery and chives.

Peel the eggs cut in half and pop out the yolks (you will only use four of them) chop up the whites.

Take out the left over ham and dice into ½inch pieces

Then cut the avocado lengthwise down to the hard seed inside.

Pull it apart and remove the pit with a spoon.

You can either cut a grid into the flesh with a dinner knife, the peel back the skin so that the cubes pop up or:

scoop out the flesh with a large spoon, invert and cut that into the cubes slave will show both.

Combine four of the egg yolks with the avocado, light mayo, yogurt, and mustard. Mash with a fork until well mixed. Next add the celery, chives, vinegar, salt and pepper.

 

In a separate bowl, mix the chopped egg whites with the chopped ham. Adjust seasonings as you prefer. Combine the contents of the two bowls together.

This is great on whole wheat bread.

If you wish to serve these as a wrap:

Lay a piece of lettuce, then a large spoonful of the egg mixture on flour tortillas and wrap.

If you wish to avoid the gluten, use a lettuce wrap or even serve in a hollowed tomato half!

You will find this a great egg salad that uses less half the egg yolks (less cholesterol) and lots of the healthy fats that are found in the avocado.

Add in the fun factor of eating “Green Eggs and Ham” and it will get your mind off of all that chocolate sitting around!
