Why I Love This Creamy Avocado and Egg Salad
Egg salad is really good, but adding creamy avocado takes that flavor to the next level. Each bite is a perfect blend of protein and healthy fats, satisfying without weighing me down.
On days when I have a few hard-boiled eggs handy and an avocado that is begging to be used, this salad is perfect. It all comes together in 10 minutes, which is pretty impressive. This is one of those meals I’ll eat after the gym, or when I fancy something fresh but hearty without turning on the stove.
Some of my favorite ways to serve this salad are:
- piled high on seedy toast
- as a sandwich or wrap filler for a portable lunch
- over a bed of salad greens with extra herbs
Warm days, picnic tables, or meal prep lunches – this recipe flexes to fit just about any scenario. And if you want to dress it up, a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a little hot sauce does the trick. It’s uncomplicated, nourishing, and always delivers.
