I am all for a quick prep lunch and this avocado-egg salad comes together in minutes. It can be served in a tortilla, with bread, or even as is! Avocados are a great first food for babies and eggs are a great source of protein, so this combination makes for a quick, nutritious meal!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Here is what you’ll need to make this avocado egg salad:
- Avocado: Use an avocado that is fully ripe.
- Egg: The base of this salad.
- Garlic Powder: For added flavor.
- Lemon Wedge: To preserve freshness and color.
PROCESS
- Boil an egg (or use a pre-boiled egg) and mash it in a bowl until it is crumbly.
- Add in the avocado chunks and mash them together with the eggs until combined.
- Add in garlic powder and lemon juice and stir until combined.
- Serve with bread, a tortilla, or as is!
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!
