Recipe: Avocado Egg Salad Cups

This Avocado Egg Salad Cups is not your usual avocado and egg salad. First of all, no mayonnaise is used. Instead, I have used yogurt. Secondly, I have added some a topping of  walnuts, cranberries, pomegranate, pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley. Lastly, this salad is served in individual bowls or cups making it an ideal starter for any party.  Easy to make, protein rich and so flavourful, enjoy Avocado Egg Salad as a light meal or as a side dish. You can replace the yogurt with some mayonnaise if you wish. I’m not a big fan of mayonnaise so don’t use it that often.

 

Sharing Avocado Egg Salad Cups Recipe With 2025 Alphabet Challenge Group

For the 2025 Alphabet Challenge, created by Wendy, I have decided to share salads recipes from A-Z. We are now on letter E. I had two options for a salad, eggplant or eggs. When given a choice I choose eggs any day especially boiled. I love Avocado Egg Sandwich so decided to use the combination for my salad recipe. It was suppose to be a simple avocado egg salad with yogurt. However, the recipe changed a bit as I wanted to serve it for our Christmas cum Hubby’s birthday Party. So the simple salad had to be a bit more festive. Added a festive topping and served it in individual cups. With letter E we have eggs eggplants, edamame, endive, espresso, escargot, elderberry, enchiladas, edam, enoki mushrooms,eggnog, etc.

E is for Eggs.

Ingredients Required For Avocado Egg Salad Cups

Avocado

Need  one medium avocado. Cut into half, remove the stone and peel. Cut the avocado into cubes. Immediately add about 1 tbsp lemon juice so that the avocado does not turn black.

Eggs

2 large eggs, hard boiled. Peel and cut into cubes.

Tomato

Need about ½ cup diced tomatoes. I used two  Roma tomatoes. I did not remove the pulp.

Onion

Peel and finely chop any onion of your choice. I used red onion.

Cucumber

Use English or Persian Cucumber as the skin is thin and does not have hard seeds. Dice a small cucumber. We need about ½ cup.

Greek Yogurt

One cup plain Greek Yogurt is what is required. If you don’t have Greek Yogurt, then add about 1½ cups plain yogurt in a muslin or cotton cloth which is draped over a colander. Cover the yogurt with the edges of the cloth. Place a steel lid or plate over the cloth. Put something heavy on top of the plate or lid. This will help all the water or whey to come out from the yogurt. Leave it for 10-15 minutes.

Lemon Juice

About 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice. 1 tbsp will be drizzled over the chopped avocado. The remaining will be added to the yogurt dressing.

Honey

Add 1-2 tsp honey to the dressing. Can replace it with maple syrup or agave syrup.

Olive Oil

Any good quality olive oil as we need to add 1 tbsp in the Yogurt Dressing.

Chilli Flakes

Add about ½ tsp dried chilli flakes to add a bit of heat.

Salt

Use any salt of your choice. I used sea salt for this recipe.

Garlic

I clove of garlic, peeled and minced to add to the dressing.

Pomegranate

About 2 tbsp pomegranate arils for topping. If you don’t get any then use grapes or strawberries.

Parsley

Finely chopped parsley either the flat or curly one.

Walnuts

Need about 10-12 walnuts for the topping. Lightly toast the walnuts in a pan for 2-3 minutes over low heat.

Dried Cranberries

About 2 tbsp for the topping.

Pumpkin Seeds

2 tbsp seeds is enough. Can replace pumpkin seeds with sunflower, flax  or sesame seeds. Lightly toast the seeds in a pan for 2-3 minutes over low heat.

Sumac

Optional. To sprinkle some on top.
