Use those pretty Easter eggs for a different kind of avocado toast–Avocado Egg Salad! With a tasty twist to the classic egg salad, this Avocado Egg Salad recipe takes all the main ingredients, and lessens the amount of mayonnaise. Keep the small texture pieces like the celery and herbs that pair oh so nicely with chopped boiled eggs. When mixing the avocado and mayonnaise, the mixture keeps the moisture and creaminess, but lessens the unnecessary sugar and calories. Another healthy switch up–trade the mayo for Greek yogurt!

Keep it chunky, when you mix all the ingredients to keep the different texture elements for a delicious sandwich or open-faced sandwich. A different way of eating egg salad, scoop the mixture onto a cracker or sliced cucumber! Most egg salads are best eaten on the day of creation.
