Avocado Egg Salad Recipe

As we continue our journey to healthier eating, I’m finding that anything with avocado is usually a big hit! This avocado egg salad is a healthy alternative to egg salad made with mayo. It is heavy on the flavor with seasonings that blend incredibly well together. 

Avocado is a creamy & delicious alternative to using mayo, blended cottage cheese or greek yogurt. 


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 avocado 
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • ½ cup grape tomatoes cut into quarters
  • 4 - 6 strips bacon cooked until crispy and then chopped
  • ½ C scallions or red onion, chopped
  • ½ C celery, chopped
  • 1-½ tsp dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp garlic, minced finely
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Garnish with fresh dill
  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp smoked pepper


INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cook hard-boiled eggs, peel and let cool in the refrigerator
  • While the eggs are cooling, cook bacon until crispy, using you preferred method of cooking
  • In a medium bowl combine eggs, avocado, mustard, garlic and salt; smash with a fork until combined. *I leave about 1/4 of the avocado ‘chunky’ for texture.
  • Add in bacon pieces, tomatoes, celery and onions. Mix well.
  • Garnish with fresh dill and a sprinkle of garlic salt and smoked pepper.
  • Serve in a bowl, on a sandwich, on toast or in a lettuce wrap.
  • Top with nuts, seeds or diced cucumber.

 

ENJOY!

Hi Debe Maxwell, CRS .  This looks amazing. I would have never thought of using avocado in that way.  I love avocados and hard boiled eggs.  I am going to have to try this one!  Have a great day!

Thank you, Brenda J. Andrew RENE, PSA, MRP, SRS! I've also been using cottage cheese. Since you can't really taste the cottage cheese, it's a great mayo substitute too. Enjoy your avocado egg salad!

Hi Debe- I've never been a huge mayo lover and have only used it when called for. I love the idea of using avocado. And of course, I love anything with bacon!!! I may try the avocado when I make a crab salad this week.

Debe Maxwell, CRS

I've also never really liked mayo either - there's something 'bitter' about it to me, Kathy Streib. So, this sub for it really makes this egg salad stand out...and the bacon is the added bonus! I've even used turkey bacon and chopped up in the salad, it's almost as good as regular bacon!

Thank you again for hosting June's fun challenge. I can't wait for the cookbook!

Hello Debe - with this recipe, you prove healthy eating need not be boring.  Here's to continuing on that path.

It wasn't a challenge I was anxious to take on in life but, I decided to put my best foot forward and try. I'm so glad I did as I've enjoyed playing with many of my old family recipes, making them somewhat healthy, Michael Jacobs. It's a fun pastime, for sure!

I am not a huge fan of avocado but I know that it is supposed to be really good for us, so I would try this delicious-looking salad and probably fall in love with it, haha.

Jul 01, 2024 05:19 AM
Debe Maxwell, CRS

Well, it has two of your favorites - eggs and bacon, Brian England! I think you'd enjoy it!

Good morning Debe. I am not a huge avocado fan like my wife but I am leaning more in the direction of liking avocado daily. Your salad sounds delicious with some died cucumber since I also don't like nots or seeds. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day. 

Jul 01, 2024 05:21 AM
Debe Maxwell, CRS

It would be fantastic with cucumber, Wayne Martin and the health benefits of avocado are tremendous. As they say, 'Try it; you'll like it!"

Good morning Debe,

Everything is better with avocado! This sounds delicious and I'm going to cut this recipe in half and make it! And who doesn't like bacon??? I'd use the red onion as I use it in lots of things. Thanks for such a great recipe!

Jul 01, 2024 06:15 AM
Debe Maxwell, CRS

You'll have to let me know what you think of it, Dorie Dillard Austin TX! I'm also going to halve it today for my lunch! Ray is not a huge fan but, will eat it on occasion. I made pimento cheese for him for this week so, he'll pass on the avocado egg salad! ENJOY!

A colorful salad but for me, eggs are meant to be served over easy only.

Jul 01, 2024 07:01 AM
Debe Maxwell, CRS

You're too funny, Ed Silva, 203-206-0754! I use them in many dishes but, do love them over easy for breakfast, for sure!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - there is nothing boring about this salad!

I decided years ago, whatever I buy and pay for at a restaurant, I can do better. Whether that is true or false, I'm much happier too.

Honestly, quality time in the kitchen really is the reward we give ourselves (and family). 

Jul 25, 2024 07:29 PM
Debe Maxwell, CRS

You're so sweet, Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP! I agree that I can tweak it and make it my own but, need the confidence to feel it is as good or better than restaurant quality! Maybe one day I'll get there! LOL

Debe Maxwell, CRS - life is different for me now than when I was preparing meals for my family. Those meals were custom made to their liking and to please them. Also, I rarely, if ever get out to a restaurant to be wined and dined with pleasure and I never eat at fast food joints.

There are pros and cons for both, depending on different stages in life. Plus, I don't eat any seafood or meat, other than white chicken breast and even that is rare. So I practice with salads and soup.
