Spring has sprung and that means it’s time for warmer weather foods like this Avocado Egg Salad to be the stars of the proverbial kitchen show! Egg prices are finally starting to come back down, and that makes this ultra-creamy egg salad a perfect choice for your Easter brunch or anyday lunch. Serve it on bread with butter leaf lettuce for an easy sandwich, or get more decadent with an everything bagel for brunch.

How to make

Perfect Boiled Eggs

Hard (or soft) boiled eggs make for a great protein packed snack! Make them in an Instant Pot to get perfectly peelable eggs EVERY TIME.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this Avocado Egg Salad recipe:

  • Avocado – I recommend a nice and ripe avocado so it mashes easily.
  • Eggs – We’re using large eggs here and there’s really no substitute!
  • Dijon mustard – Dijon brings a pop of tang and a hint of umami to this egg salad. I don’t recommend any substitutes for it.
  • Greek yogurt – Brings another bit of tangy creaminess to the party, though you could use mayo instead if you prefer.
  • Lemon juice – Paired up with the Dijon, the acid of the lemon juice helps balance the richness of the avocados and egg yolks, plus it gives you a little bit of liquid to loosen up the egg salad.
  • Chives – I love the gentle onion flavor the chives bring without overpowering the other ingredients, but you could use finely chopped onion or green onion in a pinch.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Can I

Meal Prep It?

Yes, you can meal prep it! The lemon juice keeps the avocado from browning too much. I recommend eating this one within 3 days of prepping it. Try serving it with crackers, pitas, or even bread. Add grapes or carrots on the side and you’ve got a meal!
