Easy Avocado Egg Salad

This healthy avocado and egg salad breakfast is made with avocado, eggs, onions, Greek yogurt, fresh herbs and lemon juice.

Avocado is a true superfood. Healthy avocado egg salad is high in micronutrients, healthy fats, and low in carbs. The egg salad itself is paleo-friendly, too.

If you like a little spice, you can also add some diced jalapeños, making it a true spicy guacamole egg salad.

This avocado egg salad is great to enjoy on a slice of bread to make avocado egg toast or an egg salad sandwich.

If you want to make it lighter, enjoy it on lettuce leaves to make egg salad lettuce wraps, similar to my Waldorf chicken salad. Perfect for a gluten-free or paleo diet.

Ingredients

Eggs: I like to meal prep hard boiled eggs. If you have an instant pot, use it to make the best easy peel hard boiled eggs. Otherwise, you can also boil the eggs on the stovetop.

Avocado: The star ingredient of this recipe. Use a ripe avocado. You an keep it chunky or mash it based on your preference.

Red Onions: I like to add some chopped red onions to this egg salad for some crunch. If you like, you can add some finely chopped celery too.

Greek Yogurt: Add some greek yogurt for extra creaminess. If you prefer, you can substitute with mayonnaise too.

Jalapeno (optional): This is completely optional. Slit the jalapeño to half, remove the seeds and membrane. Then, finely dice the jalapeño. Adjust the quantity to taste or skip.

Salt & Pepper: Add to your taste.

Parsley: Some chopped fresh parsley adds a wonderful aroma and taste to the salad.

Lemon juice: Adds some tanginess and fresh flavors to the egg salad.

How to Make

This is one of the easiest breakfasts to make once you have hard-boiled eggs ready to use.

In a large bowl, add avocado and mash with a fork. If you prefer chunky avocados, just cut them into pieces.

Then add Greek yogurt, red onion, jalapeno (if using), parsley, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Mix all well. 

Peel the hard-boiled eggs. Then chop them coarsely and add to the bowl, folding them in gently until combined.

Avocado Egg Salad is ready to enjoy!  

Serve as is or spread on a toast or croissant. You can also enjoy topped on lettuce leaves for a lighter and healthier lunch.

I like to add some greens such as arugula or spinach or micro greens on top of the bread, then spread the egg salad.

You can eat it as an open-faced sandwich, too. Top with some everything bagel seasoning.

Or make a sandwich. This is perfect for an on-the-go lunch.
