AVOCADO EGG SALAD
Steps:
- Combine all ingredients (scrape avocado from skin) except for chopped chives in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times, scraping the bowl once or twice if necessary. Continue pulsing until salad reaches the consistency you want: chunky or more smooth! Remove blade from bowl and stir in chives. Check seasoning and adjust as necessary. Serve on a sandwich (spread bread with a mix of Dijon and mayonnaise) or serve on a thick slice of tomato as a cool salad. Sprinkle on extra chives to make it purty.

Steps:
- Heat the broiler to high and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Add the tuna, chopped eggs, celery, dill pickles, pickled jalapeños and scallions to a mixing bowl. Mix to incorporate and to break up any large chunks of tuna. Set aside.
- Add the mayonnaise, mustard and smoked paprika to a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the tuna mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix until evenly combined. Season to taste.
- Arrange the bread on the foil-lined baking sheet. Divide the tuna mixture evenly among the slices of bread. Top the tuna with a few slices of tomato. Sprinkle the tomato with salt and pepper. Top the tomatoes with the pepper jack cheese.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the broiler and broil until the cheese is bubbling and melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board, then slice in half and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place the sugar, water, orange juice and orange zest into a small saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes to thicken slightly.

- For a tangy twist, add a spoonful of Dijon mustard or pickle relish.
- For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
- For a refreshing herb flavor, add some chopped fresh parsley, dill, or chives.
