Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich
Happy Monday Guys!
How was your weekend?
By the way, Happy International Women’s Day Ladies! Well it was yesterday, March 8th.
With the weather warming up this weekend (upper 40s around here feels hot!), I’ve found myself in a healthier eating mood.
Light, fresh and ready in under 10 minutes, this avocado egg salad sandwich is perfect for lunch/snack.
I do love homemade egg salad, but ever since I saw a recipe for an avocado egg salad, it has been on my list to try it.
I didn’t even check the ingredients of the one I saw, because I knew exactly what I was making!
Easy Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich
Sweeping mayo with mashed avocado is a wonderful way to make a clean egg salad, full of healthy fats and protein. You can either eat it by the spoonful, spread it on toast or make a sandwich like I did. I rarely buy rye bread, but I happened to have some at home this weekend. It paired perfectly with this fresh salad. I just had to toast it a little and spread a generous amount of avocado egg salad in between two slices.
This avocado egg salad is also perfect for post Easter, when you have a lot of left over hard boiled eggs and are wondering what to do with them.
I know – it is easy, not something new, but I felt that sharing it will inspire you to make something different, a little healthier and of course tasty!
This egg salad is best if enjoyed right away, otherwise avocado will turn brown as you may know.

Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 3 hard boiled eggs — , chopped
- 1 avocado — , cored
- 1/4 cup chopped red onions
- 1 tbsp lemon or lime juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tbsp parsley — , dill or chives (optional)
For the sandwich:
- 8 slices bread
- butter or oil spray — (optional)
Instructions
For the salad:
-
In a medium bowl mash avocado. Add onions, lemon (lime) juice, salt, pepper, parsley (dill or chives), and eggs. Mix to combine. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
For the sandwich:
-
You can either lightly toast bread in a skillet on the stove top, or toast it in a toaster. If using the skillet method, I suggest to lightly spray skillet with oil (butter) spray, so bread doesn't stick and burn. Spread salad over 1 slice of toasted bread and top with another (slice of bread). Cut in half. Recipe makes enough for about 4 sandwiches (or 8 halves).

Avocado egg salad has been on my list to try for a long time, too! This looks perfect, Mira! I’m seriously craving this for breakfast right now. Such a delicious dish! Pinned!
As I really dislike mayo, avocado makes for an amazing alternative in egg salad. Yours look delicious. 🙂
Good morning Mira.
I love avocado & egg sandwich. My mother used to make it for us, always fresh & delicious. Your recipe reminds me a lot of her recipe, so good & fulfilling.
Have a very nice week.
This egg salad sandwich looks divine, Mira! Love the healthy green colour – avocados are my favourite. Thanks for sharing, definitely will be trying it out!
I have never made avocado egg salad but love how healthy it looks! And I’m all about the good fats. This would be perfect for a nice, light lunch on Easter day right before the big meal.
I really need to hop onboard this latest thing everyone is doing with swapping avocado out for mayo. This egg salad seriously looks SO amazing and I’m totally wishing this was my lunch today!
What a fun update to the classic egg salad! I think I’d much prefer it in this green avocado/mayo-free form!
This sandwich looks absolutely gorgeous! I love the combination of egg and avocado! I love how light and healthy the ingredients are! It sounds delish!
I adore avocado + egg salad! I adore your photos even more, good grief, these are GORGEOUS. I love the contrast of the dark bread with the fresh egg salad. I’m craving this at 9 am!
It’s International Women’s Day? I’m a woman, had no idea. Wow. How do we celebrate? Pop some bubbly? Eat this sandwich?
Because that would be a good way to go. It looks delicious!
Mira!!! I love this! I love avocados and egg salad. . I’m totally going to try this!!!
Happy International Women’s Day, Mira!! 🙂
This avocado sandwich looks so yummy! What a fun and healthy swap and I love the green colour!! 🙂 Hope you are having an awesome Monday!!
Pretty pictures Mira! I used to love curry egg salad sandwiches. Fortunately garbanzo beans and avocado mimic the texture so well that I don’t feel left out. 🙂 I think I might have to make some for lunch today!
What a great sandwich, I would actually eat this for breakfast. Can’t wait to try it.
What a great idea to sub avocado for may! I often have the feeling my sandwiches aren’t as healthy as they could be. This is getting stored in my head for future reference!
This looks fantastic, Mira! I love the idea of adding avocado to egg salad!
YUM! Avo and eggs are unbelieveable together! Great combo and excellent choice of sandwich if you ask me 😉
This is just the perfect way to start your day 🙂 Looks awesome Mira, now only if my hubby liked eggs I would make them more often! *sigh*
I love this, Mira! This idea of swapping out the mayo for avocado is genius. This is such a light and refreshing egg salad sandwich!
How clever! I have never heard of avocado egg salad. I love love love avocados though, so I’m totally going to try this!
Replacing the mayo in egg salad with avocado is a great idea! Totally trying that out soon!
OMG, this sandwich looks and sounds so awesome! I get hungry! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This looks amazing! I love the red onion and the swap with avo. I used to make something similar all the time with tofu 🙂
I’m sitting here with my daughter and we’re both totally craving this sandwich! You have a new fan!! Pinned!
This is SO on my recipe to-do list! Egg salad sandwiches are so good, and I love that you included avocado in the sandwich, that’s such a great addition!! Pinned 🙂
Great sandwich!!! Perfect flavor combo
What a fantastic spin on a classic! I’m happy to put avocado on just about everything, but to incorporate it into an egg salad sandwich is genius!
What a great spring dish! The sandwich is so creamy and incredibly easy to make! Love everything avocado 🙂
Love that stacked photo Mira!! Not sure I could get through it all, but I LOVE the pic! Oh who am I kidding. With this sandwich filling I’d get through that entire stack! 🙂
What a fabulous spin on the classic!! Love everything about this delicious sandwich. We always ate these on Easter, after all the eggs were gathered, on pumpernickel or rye (I can’t remember) bread. It was always sooooo good. But, adding avocado takes the regular egg salad sandwich and makes it amazingly over the top! YaY for avo! Thank you for your inspiration, Mira! So creative!
OEMGE!!! Love how creamy this egg salad is -without mayo!!!! YUM!
What an amazing avocado egg salad sandwich! Looks so creamy and absolutely delectable! 🙂
Hi Mira,
I’d like to make those sandwiches for my work party. Obviously I will make them a night before and I am afraid that my avocado will browning. How to prevent it? Thanks!
Hi Elena,
I know, avocado sometimes browns so quickly! I’ve tried various methods to prevent that and not all of them work all the time. I would suggest that you squeeze some lime juice over it, before you top with the second slice of bread, while assembling the sandwiches. Then individually wrap each one very tightly (do avocado does not oxidize) and store in the fridge. Hope it works!
