Avocado Egg Salad is my new go-to lunch recipe when I need something super tasty, easy to throw together, and will keep me from getting hangry for a long time. She's creamy and tangy and can be served straight out of the mixing bowl, on a lettuce wrap, or my favorite - on an everything bagel. No matter how you do it, just do it.

Avocado Egg Salad is creamy, tangy, quick, and easy. In a bowl, on a lettuce wrap, or on an everything bagel - its perfect. There's no need for mayo because the avocado does the heavy lifting in that department. Lemon juice and some whole grain mustard add tang and texture. And, speaking of texture, a little crunch from the celery and red onion are a must. Throw in some chopped fresh herbs and lunch is served. Or, breakfast. Perhaps, snack. And most definitely, second breakfast.
The love I have for an everything bagel cannot be denied. It's probably top 5 fav things especially when piled high with this Avocado Egg Salad. It's a match made in heaven and I cannot quit shoveling this into my mouth every chance I get. If you're more gracious and well-mannered, serve this salad by itself in a cute bowl with a side of your favorite crackers. Should you be on the low-carb train, a lettuce wrap is the perfect vehicle to get said salad into your mouth.
Whatever you do, however you serve it, just make it. You won't regret it.

frequently asked questions
How well does Avocado Egg Salad keep?
Ehhhhh, not that long. This recipe only has a couple of servings for that exact reason. In my opinion, this recipe is best eaten the day you make it. Should you have leftovers, store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days max. After that, the avocado will oxidize no matter how much lemon or lime juice you add. And, it will look gross to boot. No one wants that.
Is this recipe dairy and/or gluten-free?
Yes, and yes! No dairy, no gluten, no worries!
How do you serve Avocado Egg Salad?
There are so many ways to serve this recipe and there is no wrong way. I love it spooned straight out of the mixing bowl. If I'm watching my carbs, I'll opt for a lettuce wrap or a scoop on top of a fresh, tossed green salad. If we are talking classics here, serve it in between two pieces of soft white sandwich bread. And, if I'm doing what makes me happy, I take my Avocado Egg Salad smeared in the middle of a big fat everything bagel.
What are other add-ins for this recipe?
This is definitely my area. I could go on and on about all the fun things we could throw in this egg salad. First up, a healthy scoop of dill relish. I think chopped pepperoncinis would be amazing - the spice and tang would be perfect here. If you're a fan of olives, chop some of those up and toss into the mix. For more spice? I think fresh or pickled jalapeños would be fantastic. You cannot go wrong. Make this recipe and make it your own!
