Parsley: Some chopped fresh parsley adds wonder aroma and taste to the salad.
Lemon juice: Adds some tanginess and fresh flavors to the egg salad.

This looks so tasty! Love avocados, eggs and jalapeños, but not a huge fan of red onion. Could I use just a bit of onion powder instead? I know it won't give it the red onion flavor, but would it need at least some onion or should I just omit? Thank you 🙂
Iggy says
Why are you not a fan of red onions? What did they ever do to you?
Meeta Arora says
Hello - It is totally fine to use onion powder or even skip onions. They add a crunch to the salad but feel free to skip it if you prefer.
