Creamy Egg and Avocado Salad Recipe

Sometimes I just crave something different for lunch – which are always kind of a rush in between school runs, when I only really have 10-15 minutes to eat. Well, this creamy egg and avocado salad is ready in 15 minutes – so it’s just a little extra time for something more tasty and fulfilling than a cheese sandwich. My little girl also loves it, the Greek yogurt and the egg does the magic: she would never touch avocado otherwise. So I guess, you can try it with your picky eater too or even for your weaning baby. You won’t stop making this avocado egg salad recipe. It’s quick, the avocado is so creamy, and the eggs keep me full for hours!

What ingredients do you need for avocado egg salad?

You’ll only need 5 simple ingredients:

• hard boiled eggs (12 minutes cooing time to reach hard boiled)
• ripe avocado (hard avocado won’t work in this recipe and also I don’t like it)
• Greek yogurt (you can cheat a little and use reduced fat Greek yogurt)
• fresh parsley (dried herbs will not work  well in this recipe)
• lemon juice

And of course optional salt and pepper. Also optional to add some mayo or spring onions.

Is avocado egg salad healthy?

This version, that drop mayo and replace it with yogurt is healthy.Combining rich nutrients from both avocados and eggs. Avocados are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins, while eggs provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients such as B vitamins and choline. This salad can be a wholesome meal option, particularly when you also eat it with some added fresh veggies. Additionally, using yogurt instead of traditional mayonnaise reduces unhealthy fats and adds creaminess without compromising flavor. For a balanced dish, pair it with whole-grain bread or serve it over a bed of greens. 

How many calories are in avocado egg salad?

The calorie content can vary based on the ingredients used, but on average, a typical serving of avocado egg salad contains around 250 calories, bit less with reduced fat yogurt, bit more if you add mayo.

I love this with toasted sourdough or granary bread the best but a baguette or fresh bread would also make a good company for it. Incase you are not a Greek yogurt fan, try to add half mayonnaise and half creme fraiche. The measurements are for 2 adults in the recipe.

Enjoy!
