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!

Ingredients

  • 8 eggs

  • ½ avocado, peeled and pitted

  • ¼ cup chopped green onion (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel. Chop eggs and transfer to a salad bowl.

  2. Mash avocado in a separate bowl using a fork. Mix mashed avocado, yellow mustard, and paprika into eggs until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and black pepper.

Cook's Note:

A whole small avocado will work too. You can always add red pepper flakes for a kick. This recipe is very versatile!
