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.
• Greek Yogurt: Optional ingredient for added creaminess.
• Garlic Powder: For added flavor.
• Lemon Wedge: To preserve freshness and color.

Step By Step Instructions

1. Add two pre-boiled eggs to a bowl (or boil two eggs for 10 minutes and cool) and mash them in a bowl until they are crumbly.
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.
3. Serve with bread, a tortilla, or as is!

Ingredient 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.

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.

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!
