Avocado Egg Salad

From the blog: Grab A Plate | Written by: Patricia | April 3, 2012

Ingredients

  • 6 hard boiled eggs, chilled and peeled
  • 1-2 avocados cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 5 radishes, finely chopped
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Hard boil 6 eggs. Once cooled, peel them and separate the yolks from the whites. Dice the whites into small pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, avocado and non-fat mayonnaise. Note: If you use 2 avocados, I suggest using only 1 tablespoon of mayo, and if you use 1 avocado, go with 2 tablespoons of mayo) and mash everything together with a fork or potato masher until combined and smooth (I like to leave mine slightly chunky).
  3. Mix in the lemon juice, zest, parsley, radishes, green onion and salt and pepper to the mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  4. Gently fold in the diced egg whites and combine.
  5. Chill until ready to use. Serve on sandwich bread or on lettuce leaves with your favorite veggies, if you’d like.
 
 Serves 4-6

I never thought to add avacado to egg salad, but this infuses such a wonderful creaminess! Solid thinking! I bet this recipe would be a big hit for Easter Sunday brunch!

This will make a delish sandwich for Good Fridat!

Tried this for lunch today and it was a hit. I just had to add diced dill pickle and mustard, just because to me it is not egg salas without them. The avocado sure gives this a healthy, creamy boost.

#12 Comment By Patricia On April 6, 2012 @ 10:03 pm

Good plan! Did you use radishes, too, or just the dill pickle? I really like the radishes instead of celery, plus they have a little kick to them :)

Looka and sounds great. But what is a green onion? I know red onions, white onions and normal onions. Is it a spring onion, or scallion, as they are called in the USA?

#14 Comment By Patricia On May 27, 2012 @ 1:07 pm

Thank you! Yes, scallion. It’s a small and thin at the bulb, with long green stems that are also used.

I’ve made my egg salad this way for years now! I’m not a fan of mayo;but a big fan of avacado. Try spicy brown mustard in it too,alond with dill relish.

#16 Comment By Becky On May 28, 2012 @ 2:54 am

Yes, Sissy ; I’ve made this for years now,as I’m not a fan of mayo,but a hudge fan of avacado……spicy mustard.

#17 Comment By Patricia On May 28, 2012 @ 2:04 pm

Thanks, Becky! Maybe next time I’ll try the relish, too!

#18 Comment By Sabrina On May 31, 2012 @ 9:40 pm

This was great! I used cilantro instead of parsley and added bacon. Will make it again!

I made this tonight and it tasted incredible. I cut the recipe in half since I was only making it for myself. I added vidalia onion, relish, and celery to mine.
