Ingredients

Units Scale

8 large eggs – hard-boiled, peeled, cooled.
1/2 cup mayo (or sub full-fat plain yogurt with a drizzle of olive oil, or use part yogurt and part mayo)
2 small stalks of celery, finely chopped
2 green onions, white and green parts, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped dill (or a blend of dill with Italian parsley, basil, or cilantro)
1 tablespoon tarragon leaves
1–2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1– 2 tablespoons capers
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 avocado (diced)
2 cups microgreens or sprouts
sliced radishes, optional
sliced tomatoes, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Bread, or bruschetta, tortillas if wrapping, or lightly dressed greens for a salad

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise (or yogurt with a splash of olive oil)celery, green onions, fresh herbs, capers, zest and mustard.

Peel the eggs and chop finely.

Add eggs to the mayonnaise mixture and gently fold in. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the diced avocado, gently fold in (if making this ahead, leave the avocado out until serving).

Taste, adjust salt and pepper.

Refrigerate covered until using- best used the same day.

Assemble: For appetizers, just a spoonful place on toasted bruschetta (or endive) and top with a few microgreens or fresh herbs.

For a salad, lay a bed of mixed greens and sprouts, and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, salt and pepper. Top with a cup of egg salad, arranging tomatoes, radishes and avocado all around.

For sandwiches, spread bread with mayo (and mustard if you like). Layer sliced tomatoes, avocado or radishes (or all). Top with a generous amount of egg salad, and a mound of microsprouts. Either serve open-faced or top with a second slice of bread. Cut in half.
