Active Time: N/ATotal TimeN/A
Yield: Serves : 4

Upgrade your everyday egg salad by adding chopped avocados. The avocado is full of essential vitamins, minerals and fiber, and since it’s naturally creamy, you can cut back on the mayo. This salad makes a fantastic sandwich and an awesome topping for sliced beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes.Slideshow: More Egg Salad Recipes
