Avocado and Egg Salad

Description: This recipe was my wonderful mother's. Having been raised in California, we ate avocados every day. This is one of my husband's favorites. It can also be used on a sandwich and recently I actually smashed it up and filled eggs with it. A big hit with my friends.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 hard-boiled egg
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and pepper
• paprika
• fresh parsley
• 1/8 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

1. Cut ripe avocado into chunks.
2. Hard boil egg and chop; add to avocado.
3. Add remaining ingredients.
4. Let stand or refrigerate for a little while, but not too long as avocados may turn.
5. Serve on a bed of lettuce for salad.
6. Sprinkle a little paprika on top for color.
