- Use fresh, ripe avocados for maximum creaminess and smooth texture that binds the egg salad together naturally.
- Chives add a delicate onion flavor and fresh green color, enhancing both visual appeal and taste profile.
- Customize by adding extra protein like crumbled bacon or diced pickles for additional flavor complexity.
- Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent browning for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
