There are as many ways of making egg salad as there are cooks that make it. Avocado amps up both the flavor and nutrition of a basic egg salad. I usually serve avocado egg salad on a bed of lettuce for a light and healthy lunch ( for another great lunch take a look at these delicious Bombay Sandwiches) but would be equally delicious as a sandwich, served with crackers or spread on top of a bagel.
Ingredients for Avocado Egg Salad

Tips for Making Great Avocado Egg Salad
- Use a good quality mayonnaise ( I’m partial to this brand) or try making homemade mayo. Greek yogurt would also be a great substitute.
- Don’t overly mash the avocado. Chunks of avocado add a nice textural contrast to the creamy egg salad.
- Change up the flavor with fresh herbs. Chives, parsley, tarragon or basil would all be great options
