Recipes Salad Egg Salad Recipes Light Avocado Egg Salad 4.5 (111) 84 Reviews 24 Photos I love egg salad but was always looking for a healthier option for the mayo. I had an abundance of avocados one day and decided to experiment. I'm sure glad I did! Serve with crackers, bread, or just by itself. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
