We really love this egg salad recipe. Kids want it for their school lunch all the time. We’ve been making this even during their Summer break. Thanks a lot for the recipe.
Adding avocados to this egg salad was such a great idea. It tastes so great.
WHAT CAN I SUB. FOR THE MAYO.
Hi Linda, you can use greek yogurt or sour cream!
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.
Very good. I would definitely cut back on the salt to at least 1/4 tsp
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!
I started making this and realized my avacados went bad! But it’s good without, tastes a little Tex mex-y. Love it even without the avacados!
They make a avacodo mayo
What could you substitute for the mayo?
A few options are plain yogurt, pesto, or hummus. They will all change the flavor, so choose what tastes best to you.
Veganaise, delicious!
Plain greek yogurt 🙂
Veganaise, yumo!
I would add finely chopped celery and onion 1/2 tsp each. I had all ingredients except curry powder and left it out. I had the best of both worlds, crunch and creamy.
Celery and onion sound great!
Looks so yummy. Def have to try. Good for a Lenten lunch.
Sounds and looks delicious. Wondering if the avocado turns brown in this !
We eat it too fast to see if it turns brown. But if anyone else has feedback from their batch, please let us all know. Thanks!
Plus there is a teaspoon of lemon juice in there…so that may slow the browning…If I prepared this for an appetizer party, I’d put it out with different types of good crackers…It’d be gone in an hour or less…lol…
the acid from lemon juice stops browning
One way to get the nutritional value would be to enter the recipe on myfitnesspal.com. once all the ingredients and quantities are entered they’ll give you the info.
I would be really curious to find out how to figure out the nutritional values…made last night and it’s absolutely delish!
put the ingredients into My Fitness Pal…. In the recipe section
Use the ‘MyFitnesPal’ app and you can input the recipe. The app will convert the mix into calories per serving. Easy peasy
Made this today! yum!
