Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

2 ripe avocados

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

¼ cup chopped fresh chives (or green onions)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)

4 whole wheat pitas

Leafy greens (such as spinach or arugula), for stuffing

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs. Heat over medium-high until the water reaches a rolling boil. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit undisturbed for 10-12 minutes. After cooking, transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) to halt the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.

    Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, scoop the flesh of the ripe avocados and mash them using a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy. Aim for a texture that is spreadable yet still has some small chunks for added flavor and texture.

      Mix Ingredients: To the mashed avocado, add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.

        Combine with Eggs and Herbs: Carefully fold in the chopped eggs and the fresh chives. If you’re using dill, add that as well. Use a gentle hand to combine so that the eggs maintain some structure and texture, giving the salad a delightful bite.

          Stuff the Pitas: Take each whole wheat pita and cut it in half. Gently open each half to form a pocket, being careful not to tear them. Generously stuff each pita half with the avocado egg salad mixture, ensuring each is filled to your liking. Top with a handful of leafy greens for a refreshing crunch.

            Serve: Arrange the stuffed pitas on a serving platter, showcasing their vibrant colors. Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can store the egg salad mixture in the refrigerator for up to a day and fill the pitas just before serving to maintain their integrity.
