# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Naturally vibrant green color without artificial dyes

  • Perfect for parties, potlucks, and special occasions
  • Vegetarian and naturally gluten-free

02 -
  • Choose a perfectly ripe avocado—it should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy
  • Add lemon juice immediately after mashing to prevent the avocado from browning
  • If making ahead, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the filling to prevent oxidation
  • Use older eggs rather than very fresh ones—they peel much more easily
  • For the smoothest filling, press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after mashing
  • Refrigerate assembled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor
