Georgian egg salad, also known as azelila, is a classic dish in Georgian cuisine. It is usually served as a starter or side dish and is commonly enjoyed with bread, crackers or with vegetable sticks. This low-carb version of the dish replaces the traditional mayonnaise with softened butter to add richness and flavor. The ground walnuts add a nutty taste and crunchy texture to the salad. This salad is perfect for a quick lunch or as a party food and can easily be prepared ahead of time.

Instructions

1.	Cut the eggs into small pieces and place in a mixing bowl.
2.	Add the softened butter and mix until well combined.
3.	Add the minced coriander or cilantro, minced scallions, ground walnuts, salt, and minced fresh dill. Mix to combine all ingredients well.
4.	Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and serve chilled.
