Happy, Happy Easter Monday to You….
Hope your weekend was relaxing and you had lots of quality time with family and friends.
And since I figured you probably gathered lots of eggs yesterday… you may just need to put them to good use today.
Hence I’m sharing this Healthy Creamy Avocado Egg Salad.
While I’ve always been a big fan of traditional Egg Salad sometimes you just gotta switch things up a little bit.
So I got to “thinking” Why not combine this Easy Save An Avocado Dip with some hard boiled eggs? The results were incredible.
It was like marrying two of my favorite flavors together…Avocado and Eggs…Yummm!
So if the bunny left more eggs than you know what to do with get the kiddos to start peeling and lunch can be solved.
And if you’re anything like me (probably not…haha), you probably have an avocado sitting on the counter just calling your name…Save me, Save me.
Cause really that’s pretty much how it goes with Avocado…you’re waiting on them to perfectly ripen and then they’re gone in a flash.
But since they’re truly one of my favorite foods and they’re so good for you…I’m always looking for ways to use them. Like this, this, and this.
Which reminds me when I was making this Creamy Avocado Egg Salad I thought I had the perfectly ripe Avocado ready to go…Not..and trust me for optimal flavor that’s what you want.
So off I go to the local store in search of the perfectly ripe Avocado…score and let me just tell you well worth the trip to the market.
And this Creamy Avocado Egg Salad is…
- A nice twist on the traditional egg salad
- Great way to use up those hard boiled eggs
- Avocado contains those good for you Fats..Yup
- Perfect on a sandwich, wrap, veggies, chips
- Worth an extra trip to the market
- Gluten Free & Vegetarian

April 21, 2017 at 6:22 amThe avocado egg salad sounds absolutely delicious and I love that you removed the mayo as with mayo it becomes too heavy at times.

April 19, 2017 at 11:46 amThis I would love in a sandwich for sure. I have a love hate relationship with avocado (we call them zaboca). I love them; I hate they trick me about their “ripeness” lol
Stephanie says
April 19, 2017 at 6:47 pmHaha!! I feel the same way Renz 🙂

April 18, 2017 at 5:24 pmWhat a great idea to use the creaminess of the avocado to eliminate the mayonnaise from the classic egg salad version. I love avocados so I know this is a recipe I need to try!!! Super yummy!

April 18, 2017 at 2:52 pmI have made this before! I am not a huge fan of mayonnaise so I loved adding avocado instead. I also added apple for a bit of crunch 🙂
Stephanie says
April 18, 2017 at 3:05 pmLove the sound of apple. Need to try that next time 🙂

April 18, 2017 at 11:44 amI love a good egg salad. I grate my boiled eggs with the avocado. But I like this version – Looks more scrumptious.
