Avocado Egg Salad
Description
This Avocado Egg Salad uses hard-boiled eggs and ripe avocado as the main ingredients. Half the avocado and the egg yolks are mashed with lemon juice, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sliced green onions until smooth, creating a creamy base. Chopped egg whites and diced remaining avocado are stirred through to add tenderness and slight firmness, enhancing the salad's texture.
The salad’s flavor highlights the buttery, mild avocado combined with the richness of eggs and a touch of acidity from lemon juice to brighten the taste. Garlic powder adds gentle depth without overpowering.
It serves well as a sandwich filling or atop lettuce with tomatoes for a simple, protein-rich meal. The recipe is well-suited for those wanting a twist on traditional egg salad, introducing fresh elements and healthy fats from avocado.
For freshness, the salad is best consumed within 1-2 days due to avocado oxidation. Covering the surface of the salad with plastic wrap helps delay browning by minimizing air exposure.
Ingredients
- 6 egg cooked and cooled, hard boiled
- 1 avocado
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon green onion thinly sliced
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mash ½ of the avocado with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.
- Cut hard-boiled eggs in half and remove the yolks. Add the egg yolks, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and green onions to the avocado. Mash with a fork and mix until smooth.
- Chop the egg whites and dice the remaining ½ of the avocado. Stir egg whites and avocado into the egg yolk mixture.
- Serve on bread or over a bed of lettuce with tomato slices if desired.
Notes
- Hard boiled eggs can be prepared on the stove, Instant Pot, or Air Fryer according to preference.
- Best eaten fresh; store up to 1-2 days covered tightly with plastic wrap resting directly on the avocado to reduce browning.
