Avocado egg salad takes classic egg salad up a notch. In addition to the avocado, we add a bit of mayonnaise for moisture, celery for crunch, fresh herbs, and a bit of lemon juice to brighten things up.
Serve this on salad, in wraps, or make avocado egg salad sandwiches!
No Mayo Salad: If you do not like mayonnaise, leave it out or substitute it with plain yogurt.
1 medium avocado, pitted and peeled
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or plain yogurt
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 medium-length celery stalk, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives, parsley or dill
Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Mash the avocado, mayo (or yogurt), and lemon juice in the bottom of a medium bowl.
Peel and chop your hard-boiled eggs, and then add them to the bowl.
Stir in the celery and chives. Then, season with salt and pepper to taste.
