Notes
- Prep Ahead: Boil and peel eggs up to 24 hours in advance. Store each egg wrapped loosely in a piece of plastic wrap in the refrigerator until ready to use. It's much easier to peel eggs after just being cooked than to peel them after being store in the refrigerator.
- Storage: Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the egg salad so none of it is exposed to the air. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. After 24 hours the avocado will start to brown, but it will still be safe to eat for up to 2 days.
