Easy Ingredients
Eggs: The main ingredient here are eggs so be sure they are as fresh as possible! But how can you tell? Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom of a bowl full of water, either upright or on their sides. Rotten eggs will float – check eggs individually as not all might be bad!
Filling: Just a little mayonnaise is all you need so the avocado can really shine! Substitute the mayo for sour cream, mustard, or your favorite low-carb ranch or bleu cheese dressing, and make it a new recipe every time!
Add-Ins: Avocado egg salad can be made simply or dressed up! Add some chopped red onions, diced bell peppers, cucumbers, chopped asparagus, or even some chia seeds for flavor, color, and crunch.
