Name: Avocado Egg Salad
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled; 2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and cubed; ½ cup minced red onion; 3 tablespoons chopped sweet pickles; 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard; ⅓ cup mayonnaise; salt and pepper to taste

I made this recipe up when I had an abundance of avocados and wanted something other than guacamole. I shocked myself at how tasty this egg salad was and my honey loved it too!

Avocado Egg Salad

eggs,

avocados

red onion

sweet pickles

mustard

mayonnaise

salt and pepper

Mash the eggs with a fork in a mixing bowl to break up. Add the avocado, onion, pickle, mustard, and mayonnaise. Gently smash the ingredients together until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.


This was a nice option for using up avocados and eggs. Yum. My only modification was using dijon mustard. You can avoidthe dicoloration when storing if you put ONE avocado pit in the container with the salad before sealing tightly (just like storing guac).

I make this recipe but add two tbsp of jarred pimientos, one tbsp balsamic vinegar, and 1/4 cup diced celery...delicious!

I added Texas 1015's instead of the red onions. We loved it. When storing for left overs place plastic wrap driectly on top and press down lightly. This will help with the discoloration of the salad.

I got the lap band a few months ago and had to be on 2 weeks of liquids and 2 weeks of mushy foods after the surgery. It got old, so I went looking for something new I could do with eggs and avocado. When I saw this recipe I was dubious. Having tasted all these ingredients separately, I just didn't see them tasting good together lol. Boy was I wrong. OMG this is so yummy! Even now that I'm not on mushies anymore, I still make this for lunch weekly. I always try to figure out what makes all these things taste good together, I think it's the sweet pickles. I use a pre-made sweet pickle relish cause I'm lazy lol, it really just ties everything together. So don't doubt it, try it! Yum!

I used to get something similar to this at a deli but it was called the Yankee Doodle and served on soft sub roll. Only the sliced avacodo was sliced along with strips of fried bacon. Yumm.. one of my favs!

Very tasty and easy. I diced everything instead of mashing.  Excellent sandwiches too!

If you love avocados and you love eggs, and you haven't tried the two combined, you are really missing out. I only recently discovered how well the two go together, like they were meant to be. I used pickled jalapeños instead of sweet relish and a squirt of fresh lime juice, which aids in preserving. I wrapped it up in a flour tortilla sandwich wrap, much neater to eat that way. Nice brunch.

This was surprisingly delicious.  The color was weird and only got weirder as leftovers, but if you can get past that and give it a taste, you'll forgive the appearance immediately.  I did not have a fresh red onion, so used dried chopped onions instead.  The sweet pickles really made the dish, I think.

Can also add some diced, seeded Roma tomato's...This really is a refreshing salad.

My daughter had friends over for a sleepover. They wanted egg salad for lunch. I mad this and the typical egg salad. This one was gone before the typical.

Really easy to make and tasted great.  For me it is new way to enjoy avocado and the avocado texture really compliments the mash eggs.  I forgot to put salt and pepper in mine and still it was delicious.  I served it in a lettuce wrap instead of with bread.  I also used Branston Pickle Relish (English) instead of regular pickle relish.

I really like this version of egg salad, although I only had one avocado on hand and didn't have any red onion.  It was nice a creamy, but definitely missing something. I'd definitely like to try to make this again with all of the ingredients called for.

Wonderful! Not being a huge egg salad fan I wanted something different that had very little mayo. I tried this recipe using only enough mayo to make is spreadable which is not very much because the avocado helps it bond together. I also left out the onion and pickles. I would never have thought of combining avocado and egg salad but this recipe is wonderful. I have made it several times including when having lucnh guests and I will continue to make this as I really love it!

It came out pretty well. I had more avocado than egg because I love avocados. I added a little cheese and lettuce and used white onion instead of red. I think red would have made it taste more like guacamole which could be nice. 

What an amazing variation on boring old egg salad. My only change was to use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise - just a personal taste preference.

This was really good! I had one hard boiled egg left and was looking for a way to stretch it into a heartier lunch.  Used one egg and half of a small avocado.  I used dijon mustard and subbed a little chopped green olive for the pickles, and I added just a bit of lemon juice.  Nice change of pace!

I'm not an experienced cook, so this was pretty easy for me to make.  The only thing was after I was done it tasted like it needed something; maybe some lime juice?

I also used relish for lack of sweet pickles; simply superb.

Great idea! Tastes delish. Can easily modify to your tastes, and very versatile. Have put on burgers, breakfast sandwiches, or anywhere you'd use mayo.

I made this per the recipe.  Everyone loved it.  It sounded delicious and it was even better than it sounded. We will be making this again and again.

Really good!  I used relish instead of sweet pickles, which was not a good substitute.  Next time I'll follow the recipe exactly.

Followed exactly and this was very good.  Thanks for the recipe.

this was delicious! I left out the pickles because i am not a fan of them and spread it on pita bread.  i will definitely make this again!

I really liked this as is &amp; it was truly amazing!  I wasn't too sure at first, but wow.  I did add a splash of lemon juice in hopes of keeping the discoloration at bay.  I also followed another reviewer by laying saran wrap directly on the egg salad.

The salad came out good. I had people over and I scaled it to more servings (with 9 eggs and 3 avocados). It tastes good, I like avocado, but you can taste eggs. You can't eat a lot of this salad, so I would not suggest to make a lot of it. Although its good to make it for variety.

I'd tried this earlier this summer, when we had avocados coming out our ears and loved it. So yesterday, while trying to decide what to do with my newly pickled eggs, I thought I'd give this one a whirl again.
Absolutely delicious. I'd highly recommend trying out a pickled avocado egg salad, for a change of pace. Yum!

I have never made an egg salad with avocado before and I have to say, this is SO GOOD!! I added a little red and green pepper and celery too. I also added a little lemon juice to keep the color! I will make this again for sure!

I used dill pickles instead of sweet pickles. Loved it.

Loved it!  I did not use the mustard but added sunflower seeds! YUM Also, I was all out of red onion and substituted minced onion flakes.

This is a wonderful way to add avocado to your diet.  If you can get past the green color this is a healthy new way to eat an old favorite.  The only way I will be making egg salad from now on.  I left out the mayonnaise, mustard, and pickles since I did not have any on hand.  
Mayonnaise is not needed since the avocado adds a lot of creaminess and binds everything together.  You can alter this recipe any way you like.  I added a squeeze of lemon, a squeeze of spicy ketchup, diced onions and bell peppers.

makes killer egg salad. I added a dollop of plain greek yogert for a little more creamy dressing...will make again

This made for an interesting and tasty lunch today (even rocked it old school cafeteria style and ate it on soft white bread with crisp iceberg).  Used chopped dill pickles instead of the sweet pickles and squeezed lemon over the avocado prior to slicing and dicing.  Next time I might reduce or even omit the mayo as the avocado alone seemed to lend to the expected creaminess of egg salad.  Thanks, ANGELAANDJAKERS, for a new twist on an old favorite.

I'm not a big fan of raw onions, sweet pickle or avocados but this tasted nice. I think I must have put too much pickle in because mine turned out very brown...

You can easily leave out the mayo! Excellent!

This was a really good egg salad sandwitch recipe.  Unfortunately didn't have any red onion on hand, but the egg salad was still very good without it (though I think it would be better with).  My boyfriend was a bit hesitant, as the salad ended up being pastel green, but after eating, preferred the avocado egg salad to regular egg salad.  Will definitely make again.

Thanks!  This was excellent.  As others suggested, I did not use all the mayo and omitted the pickles (I was out).

This was amazing! I loved it, my husband said it was "spot on" our 1 year old twins loved it also (left out the onion for them). I did not put any pickles in this simply because we did not have any. This was so great I called my mom and told her to make it.

Very tasty! I didn't use all the mayo, only about 2/3 of what was called for. Eat it up quick as the avocados will start to turn dark over the next couple of days.

This is not bad.  I like the crunchiness from the pickles, and the creaminess from the avocado.  However, my preference would be for dill pickles, not sweet.  Still, a quick and easy recipe.  I generally dice eggs in egg salad but I like mashing better.  So much easier!

I *never* would have thought to add avocado to egg salad, but this was wonderful!  I, too, had to use dill relish (all I had on hand), but it made it delightfully tangy.  I'm tempted to try adding it to potatoe salad as the flavors seemed as though they would work quite well together - will let you know how it goes.  Thanks for recipe!

very good, delicate &amp; hearty. i like a little more spice, but sriracha fixes so many things :)

Much better than regular potato salad. Dill pickels and celery salt were perfect!

This is pretty good sandwich spread, even minus the sweet pickles.  Might even be better without it.  Thanks for the idea.  Made my avocado go a long ways.

This was a little bland but not so much that I wouldn't make it again. I think if I add some bacon to this this may be better. Also wasn't able to add the onion because my bf can't have them. That may have been the problem.

This was ok, but not the best - I am not sure exactly how I would want to fix it though. Perhaps too much avocado to the amount of eggs.

I was surprised how good this was. I like egg salad and I like avocados but never thought to mix them and honestly it didn't sound appealing. With high rating though I had to just try it and I am glad I did, this is a keeper. I like how you dont have to have a ton of mayo either, thank you.

It was ok...and not so pretty...prefer regular egg salad

Who would have thought that avocado and eggs would make a great combination?

This was a great way to reduce mayo in egg salad &amp; give it a heightened taste. I used my own recipe but did reduce the light mayo, then added the mashed avacado which I combined with some fresh squeezed lemon juice. Used 12 eggs, 1/2 c mayo, one avacado, 2 Tbls Dijon, 3 Tbsl pickle relish &amp; all my favorite spices plus S&amp;P.  Yes, you must add paprika &amp; dill to make it perfect in my opinion!  A dash of chipotle red pepper kicks it nicely. Easy &amp; delicious.  Served on bed of romaine &amp; croissants to 10 people for luncheon. All loved. Thanks for the avacado idea!

I didn't have mustard...so I used a teaspoon of horseradish and it was delicious :) Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and I will definitely use it again. Great on wraps with lettuce, cheese and pieces of bacon thrown in for good measure! Yummm

Love it!  So good ... and so easy. I also added in some chopped jalapenos for a little extra zing ... I can tell I'll be eating this all summer long ...

Like stuffypuppet, I had no red onion and used Smiths 4665's instead. Also used Dijon. Egg salad is usually pretty bland but this was the best so far.

I did white onions and added chopped red peppers and it was amazing!  I would have never thought of this on my own, thank you for posting!

Awesome. I added diced tomato-it just seemed that it should be in there-and it worked.

This is DELISH!  Best version of egg salad I've ever had (and I've had a lot of egg salad). I'm not a huge mayo fan, so I substituted plain greek yogurt instead. Used grey poupon mustard and chopped dill pickles instead of sweet.  Both my husband and I thought this was amazingly, addictively good -- I didn't tell him about the yogurt and he had no idea! It gave a nice tang and the whole thing was so creamy. Have made it twice in one week and will definitely make again!

I love this way to incorporate avocados into a dish.  I used spicy brown mustard and sprinkled with paprika, but it wasn't needed.  If you don't mash it all up too much and leave the eggs and avocados in small cubes, it makes a great sandwich filling as well.

Loved it! For breakfast I didn't add pickles and put it on toast. Yum!

I made this for my husband to take in his lunch &amp; said it was wonderful!!


My sister and I made this when we started craving late one night and were looking for something super easy to make. Bingo! Skipped on a few ingredients and just used avocados, eggs, mayonnaise, salt and pepper annnnd a teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice. We were a bit skeptical but it turned out delicious! We spread it on a few slices of toasted baguette and gulped them down in no time! Leftover looked yucky but tasted yummy so it was all gone the next day. =)

LOVED IT, And so did my family.  They were surprised at the flavor, and so was I !  Would be a nice lunch to prepare for a small  get together with friends!   Thanks for sharing!

what a smart way to make a healthy egg salad sandwich! i omitted the mayo and it turned out tasty, but a little too much like guacamole. Next time i'm going to use half the avocado in the recipe.

I used dill pickles &amp; added celery but it was amazing!!! I had my neighbors try it one of my neighbors came over at lunch asking if I had any left! It tasted even better the next day by the way.

I used 6 eggs but only 1 avocado as my others weren't quite ripe enough yet. Chopped B&amp;B pickles. I left out the mayo completely because it seemed creamy enough without it, and I completely forgot to add mustard. Still very very good! I'll definitely be making this for lunches again soon.

Love this recipe. However, I did not have any pickles, so I had to leave those out. I'm sure it would be better with the relish. Also, I used dried onions because I didn't have any fresh ones. I don't recommend that because of the texture of the onion flakes.

I have made this twice now. The second time I took the advice of another reviewer and added 1tbs of balsamic vinegar. That was key, it added just enough bite to make it taste awesome!! Thanks for sharing!

Didn't have any red onion so I subbed celery. Don't buy sweet pickles, so I used dill. Always have to have a kick when I eat, so I used a bit of Chipoltle Chili Powder. I was very pleasantly surprised with how good this combo was! Thanks for the recipe!

I absolutly love this egg salad  its even a great dip for crackers.

This was really good, nothing  fancy here, simple to make, but great for an easy summer dinner.

ew, I hate the combination.
Sorry, its just the texture and color, and the flavour.

Yum! But next time I make this I'm going to add bacon crumbles and a touch of lime juice... then serve it on toast with a slice of provolone cheese!

I made a half recipe. I also added tomato and bacon for sandwiches  like some of the other reviews suggested! Amazing. I will use this recipe again to replace my egg salad! I also used cracked pepper and Himalayan salt and gf bread.

Great little recipe. Really didn't change the taste of the typical egg salad sandwich but a great way to use avocado!

Super tasty! I added some white vinegar and ate it as dip with corn chips

This is fantastic!  Would definitely make it again.

Yum! Great way to get avocado and eggs as good fats into my keto way of eating!

Loved the idea of using healthy avocados to my basic egg salad.  Made 1/2 the recipe to try the concept.  Used 3 HB eggs, 1 ripe avocado, which made it creamy and easy to mash, no need to dice.  Used 2 Tbs finely diced white onion,  1/4 c. Miracle Whip, which has less cholesterol than mayo and sprinkled dry mustard to taste.   Omitted pickle because husband does not like them.  Certainly easy to serve on the side for  those who love pickles.  Used lightly toasted whole wheat bread, which yielded 2 thick and healthy sandwiches and no leftovers to worry about discoloring.

Does not last very long, but still very tasty!

This was amazing! I was sick of the same things for lunch all the time and I made this last night and made it exactly like it said and it tasted great. I had it on toasted bread with lettuce and tomato and it was awesome. I can't wait to bring it in my lunch again tomorrow!

My husband loooovvves this! And, well, me too!!! And everyone who's tried it from my kitchen ;)
(P.S. I prefer using dill relish, which I use in my version, and it's SO good this way... and Miracle whip is just great in this, also. Just a thought if you're trying it out!)
Super healthy...crazy it can taste like this! Enjoy! :)

Incredible! Swapped out mustard with dried mustard and sweet pickles with dill pickles. Yum! I left out the mayo, no need for it!!  Love love love this recipe, could eat this everyday. ??

We loved it!  I omitted the sweet pickle and added a pinch of Paprika.

Great idea. I have been thinking about something else to use besides the same old same old. I mixed a variety of different vegetables together. Avocado, onions, tomatoes, portabello mushrooms, pickles, spinach and mixed it with hard boiled eggs along with mayonnaise blended with basil. Then I put it in a whole wheat tortilla wrap with cheese. This little concoction came out delicious.

Run out of mayo so put in only half as what recepy is asking .. And still tasted delicious.

I wouldn't change a thing...the sweet relish was a good addition with the yellow mustard.

Avocados + eggs = awesomeness! I had to substitue red onion for green onion since that's all I had. I replaced the relish (not a fan) with regular pickles chopped, &amp; lastly added paprika. This was so yummy! I loved it &amp; so did my girlfriend. This will definitely be a staple in our house!

Delicious! Used yellow onion and sweet relish because that's what I had.  Definitely see myself having this several times a week for lunch

This is the best! Absolutely love it! so healthy too. As other reviewers suggested, I put a pit in the left over salad to help lessen the oxidation (browning). This doesn't keep long because we go right through it. The only tweak I made was add 1 tbs sriracha sauce for a little heat.

Yes to both. I used dill pickles and Dijon mustard. I made it organic. Yummy.

Very tasty. I didn't change the recipe, just cut it in half so none got wasted.

It was very good,  but just seemed to be missing something.   I will probably make it again but try some minor adjustments.   Thanks for sharing!

Yummy!  I use less sweet pickles, because I don't like the flavor as much.  The avocado provides a nice creamy texture, so you don't need as much mayo.   This is an easy recipe to change to your tastes.
