Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans, drained (cooked dried chickpeas work too))
1 medium avocado (large diced)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 medium clove garlic (very finely diced or grated (about 1/2 teaspoon))
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or other coarse salt
4 [url href="https://www.kitchentreaty.com/how-to-make-perfect-hard-boiled-eggs-my-favorite-method/"]hard-boiled eggs[/url] (chopped)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
Additional salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
8 slices sandwich bread

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork.
  • Add the avocado, lemon juice, garlic, and kosher salt. Mash until blended, keeping a few chunks of avocado if you prefer.
  • Gently stir in the eggs and mayo (if using).
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Divide egg salad between four slices of bread and top with remaining bread. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
  • Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to guacamole. If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute dried cilantro, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should have a slightly chunky texture. If you over-mash the avocados, it will become smooth and lose its appeal.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste: Guacamole should be seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve guacamole immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but it will start to brown after a few hours.

Conclusion:

Guacamole is a versatile and delicious dip that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a perfect appetizer for parties, or it can be served as a snack or side dish. With its creamy texture and fresh flavor, guacamole is a crowd-pleaser that is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
