Avocado egg salad takes classic egg salad up a notch. In addition to the avocado, we add a little mayonnaise for moisture, celery for crunch, fresh herbs and a small amount of lemon juice to brighten things up. If you are not a fan of mayonnaise, leave it out completely or substitute with plain yogurt.

AVOCADO EGG SALAD TOAST

Avocado Egg Salad Toast image

I had a surplus of avocados after purchasing too many for an event. A few days later, I was making egg salad sandwiches for lunch and had the fantastic idea to use avocado to bind it together instead of traditional mayo. Not only was this version unbelievably delicious but the healthy fats in the avocado make this a much better option than the traditional mayo-laden version. -Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

CREAMY AVOCADO EGG SALAD RECIPE

Creamy Avocado Egg Salad Recipe image

My go-to avocado egg salad is a delicious, healthier twist on classic egg salad. It is ultra creamy, thanks to rich nutritious avocado and a little Greek yogurt. No mayo involved! And you'll love the bright flavors from fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice. Hard-boiled eggs work best in this recipe, and I share all the tips for how to boil eggs. To serve, make a loaded egg salad sandwich, scoop it onto a bed of greens, spread it onto your morning toast, or eat it by itself!

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 large ripe avocado
1 lemon, (juice of)
3 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 celery rib, (finely chopped)
1 shallot, (finely chopped)
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
Kosher salt and black pepper
Big pinch red pepper flakes,
Extra virgin olive oil
Bread of your choice, (I used ciabatta rolls)
Romaine lettuce leaves
More parsley and dill

Steps:

Hard boil the eggs and peel them. Put the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a rolling boil (I add about 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt to the water, which helps prevent the eggs from cracking and also helps to peel them). Turn the heat off, cover and allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes, then drain. Run cold water over your eggs and break the shells off to peel.
Chop the eggs up and put them in a medium mixing bowl.
Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. With a spoon, scoop the avocado flesh out and discard the peels. Chop the avocado and put in the bowl with the eggs. Immediately add the lemon juice on top of the avocado (this will help keep the avocado from turning brown too quickly). Mash the avocado a little bit.
Add the Greek yogurt, celery, shallot, parsley, and dill. Season with kosher salt, black pepper and a good pinch of red pepper flakes (I am using Aleppo-style pepper). Add a small drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mix everything well with a spoon or fork. Serve at room temp or cover and chill for later.
To make this into a sandwich (optional), simply scoop the egg salad onto your favorite bread (I like to add some lettuce and more fresh herbs in my sandwich).

Tips:

Choose ripe avocados: The key to a creamy and flavorful egg salad is using ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
Hard-boil eggs perfectly: For the best results, hard-boil your eggs for 10-12 minutes. This will ensure that the yolks are cooked through while still remaining tender and creamy.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, and chives, add a pop of flavor and color to the egg salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
Don't overmix: Overmixing the egg salad will make it dry and crumbly. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are just combined.
Chill before serving: For the best flavor, chill the egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to firm up.

Conclusion:

Avocado egg salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a good source of protein, healthy fats, and vitamins, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, avocado egg salad is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
