06 - Sprinkle each lettuce boat with everything bagel seasoning immediately before serving for optimal crunch and flavor.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes fifteen minutes from fridge to plate, which means you can make it when hunger strikes without any fuss.
  • The combination of creamy avocado and that salty, savory everything bagel seasoning hits differently than plain egg salad ever could.
  • You get to skip the bread guilt while actually feeling fuller and more satisfied than you would with carbs.
02 -
  • Don't prep these more than an hour ahead because the lettuce will start weeping and the whole thing becomes sad, even though the flavor stays good.
  • If your avocado is rock hard, buy the one that yields to gentle pressure and wait a day, because trying to mash an underripe avocado will frustrate you and create a chunky mess.
03 -
  • The moment the avocado touches the lemon juice and mayo, it becomes protected from browning, so toss it immediately and you can prep this hours ahead without panic.
  • Use a very ripe avocado and slightly warmed mayonnaise if you want the mixture to mash together silkily instead of fighting you.
