The BEST Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich

Avocado Egg Salad Recipe | Healthy Lunch Idea

Avocado Egg Salad is one of my favorite go-to healthy lunch recipes anytime I need to whip up something super quickly! It’s a twist on the traditional egg salad recipe and substitutes the mayonnaise with avocado as the creamy base.

And, with the addition of the avocado, it really takes the nutrition level up a notch! The healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals in the avocado will keep you full and nourished while the protein from the eggs will satisfy your hunger for hours.

Personally, I like to boil some eggs at the beginning of the week to have on hand and when I’m ready for lunch, I’ll just quickly mash up an avocado along with some chopped vegetables and the diced egg and it’s ready in less than 10 minutes!

If you prefer prepping your meals in advance, this avocado egg salad recipe will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days as long as you add plenty of lemon juice. The acids in the lemon juice will slow down the browning process. Just make sure you give it a good stir before serving.
