So Delicious: If you, like me, grew up thinking eggs, mayo, and mustard had no business living between your slices of lunch bread, well this is going to be a game changer for you. This creamy, super flavorful easy egg salad will be your new favorite thing since sliced bread. Coincidentally, it goes perfectly with sliced bread. Super Easy: This avocado egg salad takes less than 15 minutes to whip up and is a serious game changer for my sandwich routine. With savory, crisp bacon and smooth avocado, this egg salad takes things up a notch! Adjustable: You can make this egg salad your own depending on your preferences!

Another option is to put this avocado egg salad on a bagel or a croissant for something different.
Ingredients for Avocado Egg Salad
Eggs– Hard boil your eggs and roughly chop them up. Avocado– Dice your avocado into bite sized pieces. In this recipe, I don’t mash the avocado because the bigger chunks are a nice flavor a texture combination! Bacon– Use cooked bacon and roughly chop up. You can cook your own bacon before hand! Green Onions– Also known as scallions. Chop these up for flavor and a nice crunchy texture! Reduced Fat Mayo– I like to use reduced fat mayo to keep this egg salad as healthy as possible. Dijon Mustard– Dijon mustard adds a wonderful flavor to this salad. Lemon– A little bit of fresh squeezed lemon to top it off rounds off the flavors and adds a brightness. Seasonings: Salt & Pepper, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika
Here’s How You Make It
Expert Tips
Try not to overcook your eggs. You want them hard boiled, but not so hard boiled that the yolk has turned from yellow to green. I typically boil my eggs for no more than 10 minutes. Dice, don’t mash the avocado. Many other egg salad with avocado recipes call for you to smash the avocado. For my recipe, I like there to be chunks of avocado for the texture and flavor. Try using homemade mayonnaise! Egg salad will only taste as good as the ingredients that are put into it. Try using homemade mayo and fresh herbs on top for an even more elevated avocado egg salad sandwich!
