Recipe: Mashed Avocado Egg Salad

Mashed Avocado Egg Salad

24 Carrot Life’s simple mashed avocado egg salad makes an excellent sandwich for two on those days when you’ve got too many plans to really cook. The marriage of creamy avocado and mashed eggs is spiced up with zesty lemon and dijon mustard so chances are you won’t miss the mayonnaise!

Mashed Avocado Egg Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 large hard boiled eggs, cooled and peeled
  • 1/2 avocado (about 100 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 of a small lime or lemon, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings & Garnishes

  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sprinkle of fresh parsley
  • Za’atar spices
  • Extra sea salt

Directions

Add hard boiled eggs, avocado, dijon mustard, lime/lemon juice, and salt and pepper to a small bowl and mash with the back of a fork until fully combined.

If desired, serve on a slice of toasted bread with tomato, lettuce, a sprinkle of fresh herbs or dried spices, and a pinch of coarse sea salt. Can also be served on a bed of lettuce.

Serve immediately and eat the same day you prepare it.
