The inspiration for this recipe came to me one hot summer day when I was looking for a light and refreshing appetizer to serve at a party. I had some ripe avocados and hard-boiled eggs on hand, and I thought that they would make a great base for a salad. I added some Greek yogurt for creaminess, a jalapeno for heat, and some red onion and cilantro for flavor. The result was a delicious and refreshing salad that was perfect for a hot summer day.
