Ingredients and Substitutes

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for avocado egg salad, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

• avocado – To make egg salad without mayo, we use avocado as a mayo substitute. Make sure they are ripe so they mash nicely to a creamy consistency.
• lime juice – Prevents avocados from browning and adds rich flavor. Fresh tastes best, but bottled lime juice is fine for convenience. In a pinch, lemon juice can also be used as a substitute.
• sea ​​salt – Adjust to taste.
• fresh coriander – Fresh herbs work best in salads, but you can technically use 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon dried cilantro instead of 1/4 cup fresh. If you’re not a cilantro fan, scallions, chives, or even dill or parsley will do.
• red onion – They add crunch and flavor! Red onions are a classic accompaniment to other flavors in this avocado egg salad, but white onions or even scallions will work if you have them on hand. Either way, chop so they blend well.
• celery – Another component that adds crunch. Diced is also good.
• black pepper – For a little heat! Remove the ribs and seeds to cut down on calories and leave them in if you like spice.
• fully boiled egg – Feel free to boil them, but you usually do. This is my favorite way to peel hard boiled eggsbut you can also use Boil eggs in the oven if you prefer.

Variation: Add more protein!

How to Make Egg Salad Without Mayo

This section shows how to make an avocado egg salad quickly, with step-by-step photos and details on the technique. See the recipe card below for full instructions.

1. Mash avocado. In a medium to large bowl, mash the avocado and lime juice with sea salt, leaving a few chunks behind.
2. Collapse the add-in. Add cilantro, red onion, celery, and jalapeño, then fold until fully combined. Don’t overmix so you can keep those avocado chunks!
3. Add eggs. Gently stir in the hard-boiled eggs, mashing the yolks a bit. Adjust salt and jalapeño to taste.

4. decorate. Especially if you serve plain egg avocado salad, I say garnish is a must! I like to add more egg slices, jalapeno slices, cilantro and lime slices for a squeeze.

Storage Instructions

While this salad is best fresh, you can make it a day or two ahead if desired. A better option is a mixed salad, but don’t add mashed avocado right before serving.

Will Avocado Egg Salad Brown?

Yes, if you make egg salad with avocado instead of mayo, the avocado will brown (like guacamole) after a day or two. While it may not look as appealing, it is safe to eat. A lot of times it’s just the top layer that’s brown, so you can take that off, or mix it up and it’ll turn green again.

How long will avocado egg salad last?

Avocado Egg Salad will keep for 1-2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can you freeze egg salad with avocado?

No, I don’t recommend freezing avocado egg salad. Hard-boiled eggs can have a weird texture when frozen and avocados can turn brown.

How to Make Egg Salad with Avocado

If you want a more fun way to eat than a fork, there are plenty of options:

• sandwich – Make an avocado egg salad sandwich with your favorite bread. (I usually use keto bread, 90 Second Breador Almond Flour Bread Healthy choice. )
• toast – Instead of a soft sandwich, toast it in the toaster and top it with a salad. Serve with garnishes – cilantro, lime juice, or even sliced ​​jalapenos for extra heat.
• lettuce wraps – Serve salad in lettuce cups. Icebergs, romaine lettuce, and bibs all work well. Here are all my lettuce wrapping tips and tricks.
• biscuit – scooping salad with my spoon Almond Flour Cookies Or your favorite cookie.
• vegetable – Scoop away with cucumber slices, celery sticks or mini bell peppers.
