what can i use instead of dijon mustard,can we cut the recipe in half
Hi Jackie, yes you can use dijon mustard. We love dijon! Sure, you can cut the recipe in half, it should still be delicious!
Very good. I would definitely cut back on the salt to at least 1/4 tsp
Made this today! Because of the natural salt in the avocado, i’ll be reducing the salt to 1/4 tsp but otherwise this is WONDERFUL. I did add a tsp of Dijon instead of 1/2 tsp.
WHAT CAN I SUB. FOR THE MAYO.
Hi Linda, you can use greek yogurt or sour cream!
Adding avocados to this egg salad was such a great idea. It tastes so great.
