Making Tips
Avocado. Wondering the best way to cut an avocado? Cube it in a criss-cross patter (pictured above) and then spoon it out with a big spoon. Comes out perfectly cubed and ready to cook with.
NOTE: Make sure to cut avocado right before serving because it will brown if kept out too long.

Variations + Storing
There are many variations to egg salad. Try our classic egg salad recipe – always a hit! Avocado egg salad is a great variation that I hope you try. Feel free to add in different spices or ingredients to change up the flavors a bit.
Variation ideas:
- Add in honey dijon mustard to make it a little sweet and spicy.
- Add some hummus into your egg salad for a Mediterranean flare.
- Bacon pieces and horseradish cream make a really tasty combination.
- Seasoning: We love to use lemon pepper or garlic pepper to change it up.
Possibilities are almost endless!
Storing. Refrigerate your avocado and egg salad in airtight containers and keep it in the fridge for storage. It can last 3-5 days in the fridge. I like to make a big batch of egg salad and eat it for lunches during the week.
