Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid serving: 1 fat

6 eggs, hard boiled
1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
1 ½ tsp. lime juice
3 Tbsp. light mayonnaise
1 tsp. parsley, chopped
2 tsp. cayenne pepper, ground

In a medium bowl combine egg yolks, avocado, lime juice, mayonnaise, half of the parsley, cayenne pepper and garlic.
Spoon mixture into egg whites and garnish with other half of chopped parsley.

Technique: By using acidity and spices we don’t need to add salt.
Taste: The garlic gives these eggs a little bite.
Try: Add a little more zest!
