Avocado egg salad is perfect for a quick lunch or picnic, served with crackers or as a sandwich/wrap—just like our classic Egg Salad and Chicken Salad recipes!
Avocados + Eggs = Delish!
I love avocados. I love eggs. So why not combine the two to make a tasty lunch idea?!
Avocado egg salad is a game changer, just a step up from our classic Egg Salad recipe. It’s healthy, filling, and incredibly tasty.
There are so many ways to eat it. Serve it over lettuce for a lighter fare, or toast two thick slices of bread and spread it on for a more filling lunch or dinner idea.
It’s great for packing and having on a picnic or lunch break. Not to mention, my kids love this recipe! It tastes great and is definitely kid-approved.

Recipe Tips
Use these tips to ensure the best recipe possible!
Avocado. The best way to cut an avocado is to cube it in a criss-cross pattern (pictured above) and then spoon it out with a big spoon. It comes out perfectly cubed and ready to use.
Cut the avocado right before serving because it will brown if kept out too long.
Hard-boiled eggs. For perfect hard-boiled eggs that are easy to peel and have no gray rings, use our perfect hard-boiled egg recipe!
Storing Tips
STORE. Place egg salad in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for 3-5 days.
I like to make a big batch of this avocado egg salad recipe and eat it for lunches during the week.
Recipe FAQ
The lemon juice in this recipe will keep the egg salad from turning brown for about a day or so when stored in the refrigerator. Also, placing some plastic wrap over your egg salad and pressing it close to the surface before putting the airtight lid on your container will help to prevent browning too.
For a low-carb, keto, or gluten-free option fill lettuce wraps with your avocado egg salad. Greek yogurt can be substituted for mayo for a healthy avocado egg salad.
