Step-by-step
- Simply boil the eggs to desired doneness and let cool, peel, dice.
- Gently mash the avocado, Greek yogurt, and seasonings until the mixture is combined but avocado hunks are still recognizable.
- Fold the mayo into the eggs, then add to the avocado mixture.
- Gently fold (again) so that both are mixed. *My mixture was dry because my avocado was less ripe so I added another tbsp mayo...this is not always the case so use your discretion.
- Use a sharp knife to trim the stem from the collard leaves. You may remove most of the stem from the center of the leaf which is ok. Use that as a guide to slice it in half, effortlessly.
- Blanch the leaves in hot water to soften by placing the leaves in boiling water for a few minutes, then transferring them to ice water. Pat dry.
- Fill each leaf with egg salad and top with sliced cucumber, greens, and cracked pepper.
- Wrap like a lean mean green burrito. Slice in halves.

As a busy professional, finding time to prepare healthy and satisfying meals can feel like an impossible task. Between meetings, deadlines, and client calls, the last thing I want to do is spend hours in the kitchen.

This Green Goddess Avocado Egg Salad Wrap is my go-to lunch, and I'm excited to share it with you!
This recipe is not just about speed and convenience; it’s a celebration of fresh, vibrant ingredients. The creamy avocado, perfectly cooked eggs, and tangy Greek yogurt create a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The collard greens provide a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals, creating a satisfying and nutritious wrap that keeps me energized throughout the afternoon. The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability. Feel free to experiment with different greens, add your favorite spices, or swap out ingredients based on your preferences and what’s in season. One of my favorite variations is adding a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for an extra boost of flavor.

The satisfaction of a healthy, homemade lunch fuels my productivity and ensures I'm feeling my best throughout the day.
The process is incredibly straightforward. First, I hard-boil my eggs – I usually do a batch on Sunday to save time during the week. Then, it's just a matter of mashing the avocado with Greek yogurt and seasonings. I use a good quality mayonnaise, but you can adjust the amount depending on your preference and the ripeness of your avocado. The key is to achieve a creamy consistency without losing the lovely texture of the avocado chunks. The collard greens are blanched briefly to soften them, making them easy to wrap. I love the earthy, slightly peppery taste of collard greens. I find them far more satisfying than lettuce in a wrap. Then it's simply a matter of filling the collard greens with the egg salad, adding some fresh cucumber, microgreens, or other greens I happen to have on hand, and rolling it up. The final touch is a sprinkle of cracked black pepper. I like to slice mine in half for easier eating. This recipe is a perfect example of how healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. It’s a fantastic way to start your day feeling energized and ready to tackle anything.
Beyond the convenience and flavor, this Green Goddess Avocado Egg Salad Wrap is incredibly versatile. It's perfect for meal prepping; I often make a larger batch on the weekend to enjoy throughout the week. It's also a great option for packed lunches, picnics, or even a light dinner. The ingredients are readily available at most grocery stores, making it easy to incorporate into your regular meal rotation. This recipe is not just a lunch; it’s a reflection of my commitment to healthy eating without sacrificing taste or convenience. The satisfying crunch of the greens, the creamy avocado, and the perfectly cooked eggs combine to create a symphony of flavors that keep me coming back for more. I encourage you to give this recipe a try and discover the simple joy of a healthy, delicious, and effortlessly prepared meal.
