Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Left over chicken or turkey
Provides the protein base and bulk of the filling.
Hard boiled eggs
Add soft, creamy texture and bind the filling with mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise
Adds fat and moisture, holding the chopped filling together.
Avocado pears
Serve as the edible shell, adding creamy fat and mild flavour.
Lime juice
Adds acidity that brightens the filling and slows browning of the avocado.

The step that matters

Fill the avocado just before serving. Cut avocado flesh oxidises and turns brown when exposed to air. Filling and serving it promptly keeps the surface green and the texture fresh.

Swap the pear
