WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Ingredients to make avocado egg salad. See recipe card for detailed ingredient quantities.

  2. Add in the avocado chunks, Greek yogurt (if using), garlic powder, and black pepper and mash them together with the eggs until combined. If you are not serving immediately, squeeze in the juice of one small lemon wedge.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Avocado egg salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for 1 day. After that, the avocado will begin to oxidize and turn brown. To store, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container.

SUBSTITUTIONS

  • Avocado: If you prefer to make a standard egg salad, you may replace the avocado with a little unsweetened Greek yogurt. I would suggest adding in some chopped onions and peppers for a little more texture and flavor.

RECIPE NOTES

  • The lemon juice in this recipe helps prevent the avocado from browning too quickly. 
  • Add in finely chopped red onions for a little more texture and crunch!
  • Try not to mash the avocado and eggs too much. Leave a few small pieces here in there to offer babies and toddlers a little more texture and variety!
  • Add salt and pepper to taste for adults!
