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 saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Afterward, transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and chop.

    Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados until smooth.

      Mix Ingredients: Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado. Stir until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

        Combine with Eggs and Herbs: Gently fold in the chopped eggs, chives, and dill (if using) into the avocado mixture. Be careful not to over-mix; you want some texture from the eggs.

          Stuff the Pitas: Cut each pita in half and gently open to create pockets. Stuff each pita half with a generous amount of the avocado egg salad mixture and top with leafy greens.

            Serve: Arrange the stuffed pitas on a platter and serve immediately. You can also refrigerate the egg salad mixture for up to a day and fill the pitas just before serving.
