Avocado Egg Salad is a delicious take on the traditional egg salad with the addition of creamy and buttery avocado. This Egg Salad is what I serve as a big ole entree for me, and me only! Me likey mucho.
Alright Alright Alright!Hallo, Monday!Hallo, my dear friends! Remember when your dad used to answer the phone with, “YELLOW?” Remember that!? I used to think, “Oh my gosh, stop it dad, you’re so ancient!”
The guy was like 38…
Uhm, yah… I’m like a year away from that number. Doesn’t seem so ancient anymore, now does it? :-/
SO! Let’s get this week started with:
HOW TO MAKE AVOCADO EGG SALAD
WITH Bacon. BOOM! Suddenly,our food-life seems complete!
We’re keeping it simple today. Like, “it’s Monday” type-of-simple. Just kick your feet up and enjoy.
Oh no, wait. This does involve a bit of chopping, so get your feet off the table and grab a knife. BUT don’t be like me and sharpen thy knife, then forget that you sharpened it, and then go slicing up avocados and fingers all at the same time, m’kay? Don’t be like me.
I eat avocados like it’s my job. Every day I eat half of an avocado for lunch and sometimes I finish the other half for dinner. A sprinkle of salt and pepper with a squeeze of lime juice is all I need to devour mygreen and buttery friend.
However, sometimes my breakfast friends, eggs and bacon, love to get up all in that mix and make this girl a very, very happygourmand.
Before I toss the salad, I shake up a yogurt dressing with a little sour cream, some lime juice and dill – so good! Tangy and creamy, just as it should be, but without the mayo.
I always think aboutputting ranch dressing on this salad. Sounds good, right?Ranch could always bethe answer to all my foods. Like, french fries. YUM!
You might also consider adding choppedcarrots, celery and capers, and take this saladto your aunt’s potluck. Just a thought.
What I’m trying to say is that you should also try my Avocado Chicken Egg Salad – goooood stuff!
ENJOY!

Avocado also contains half the fat (4.5g to 9g) and is cholesterol free. To substitute an avocado for mayonnaise, cut a ripe avocado into cubes then mash it well using a fork or the back of a spoon.Then, use anywhere you would mayo! Try it with tuna sandwiches and potato salad.
Instructions. Combine eggs, onions (if desired), mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if desired), in small bowl; stir well to combine. Toast or grill your bread (optional).
We don't recommend freezing egg salad, as it will change the texture and flavor. If you're OK with that, you can freeze it for up to one month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Spices can elevate a dull, bland egg salad to extraordinary, and many seasonings can be used to spice up egg salad. Let's start with an obvious one: salt. It's an essential seasoning in cooking, especially for egg-based dishes, as salt intensifies an egg's rich, savory flavor.
Quickly layer Swiss cheese, 1 fried egg, Cheddar cheese, 1 fried egg, avocado, and remaining bread slice, butter-side up. Carefully flip sandwich to grill other side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove sandwich from skillet and cut in half.
Vegan mayonnaise is made of two main ingredients: soy milk (or aquafaba) and oil. Therefore, vegan mayo is different from regular mayonnaise, which combines egg and oil. Even though the ingredients are different, it is an excellent substitute for regular mayonnaise.
Besides swapping regular onions for green onions or chives, there are other ways you can build up your egg salad's flavor and limit unsightly pooling water. Try adding spices, such as garlic powder or paprika; paprika is often dusted atop deviled eggs, so it would taste fantastic in egg salad.
If the egg salad has been properly stored—in a sealed container in the refrigerator—it is safe to eat it within five days. This rule also applies to similar mayonnaise-based salads like chicken, tuna, ham, and macaroni salads.
The reason is simply that instead of binding your eggs together with oil and egg yolks — the components of regular mayonnaise — you're instead doing so with a diluted version. Adding more water in the form of light or fat-free mayonnaise necessarily means that more water will seep out of your egg salad.
Food intolerance happens when the body is unable to digest certain components in food. People who have an egg intolerance may not be able to digest the egg whites or yolks, or both. With an intolerance, a person may experience digestive problems hours after consuming the offending food item.
Eggs are a rich source of nutrients, making them a popular meal choice and ingredient. However, some people may experience nausea after eating eggs. If you feel nauseous after eating eggs, you may have an intolerance or allergy to egg yolks, egg whites, or both. Some people may experience nausea after eating eggs.
Motoya Nakamura, The OregonianFresh herbs, tangy mustard, capers or pickles, and whole-grain bread make an egg salad sandwich you won't find in a vending machine. But first, cook the eggs just until yolks are firm yet still moist. Too long in hot water and eggs turn dry, pale and even develop a gray outer layer.
I was attracted to this mayo because I like avocado oil, and this mayo doesn't have any added sugar. The taste for me was amazing. Taste is always a matter of individual tastes, and this is different than usual store-bought mayonnaises I've had over the years, but this is so much better.
California Avocados are known for their versatility, thanks to their soft texture and mild taste. They are the perfect creamy substitute for butter, oil, or cream for many dessert dishes. California Avocados are a healthy fat and can reduce your intake of saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium.
