The BEST Egg Salad Recipe (made healthier)

Egg salad is a classic recipe that’s been around for years and everyone seems to have their own twist on the recipe. I’ve tried so many varieties of egg salad over the years, and I can say that today’s recipe is my absolute favorite!

But, as always, I’m going to make this ultimate egg salad recipe even healthier by swapping traditional processed mayonnaise (that contains soy & other unnecessary ingredients) with my favorite healthy mayo, Primal Kitchen Avocado Mayo. That way I’m avoiding all those nasty, processed ingredients!

Now the cool thing about egg salad is that you can serve it in a variety of ways. I like to eat it as a sandwich (I use gluten free bread), wrap it in lettuce, serve it over a bed of greens, eat it with healthy crackers, or sometimes I just eat it own its own because it’s just that good! It’s also a great recipe to serve at parties or gatherings.

But, this healthy lunch recipe can be whipped up in minutes for a healthy on-the-go lunch option. Personally, I like to prep my boiled eggs at the beginning of the week and then make my egg salad fresh; however, if you don’t have time for that, you can prep this egg salad recipe 3-4 days in advance and it’ll still be fresh and taste delicious.
