# How-To:

02 - In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth with slight texture variation.
03 - Add chopped eggs, chives, and dill to the avocado mixture. Gently fold until evenly combined without overmixing.
04 - Carefully separate lettuce leaves, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
05 - Spoon the avocado egg salad evenly into the center of each prepared lettuce leaf, distributing proportionally across all servings.
06 - Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over each filled lettuce boat immediately before serving for optimal crunchiness.
