2 hard-boiled eggs, shelled and halved
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 grinds of black pepper
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Chips, crackers or challah, to serve
1) Finely chop the parsley and the scallions in a food processor. Add the avocados and the lemon juice, then add the eggs, salt and pepper. Pulse until the eggs are finely chopped.
