Instructions
- Begin by cutting the ripe avocado into manageable chunks, ensuring they are perfectly ripe for maximum creaminess.
- Prepare the hard-boiled egg, chopping it finely before adding it to the bowl with the avocado chunks.
- Incorporate the mayonnaise, garlic powder, and a splash of lemon juice into the mix, adjusting the quantities to suit your taste preferences.
- For added freshness, fold in chopped fresh parsley and sprinkle with paprika, which not only enhances the flavor but adds a lovely color contrast.
- Let the salad stand for a few moments or refrigerate briefly to allow the flavors to meld; however, be cautious not to let it sit too long, as avocados can brown quickly.
- Serve this vibrant salad on a bed of crisp lettuce to elevate the dish, and finish with a light sprinkle of paprika on top for that perfect touch of color.
