Recipe tips and substitution ideas:

• For the best flavor, use ripe but firm avocados. I diced my avocado and did not mash, but you can also mash the avocado to your preferred consistency, chunky or smooth and gently fold in the eggs to keep some texture. Add the lime juice right away to help prevent browning, and taste before serving to adjust salt, pepper, or heat.

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. To help minimize browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing. Give it a quick stir before serving.

• You can customize this avocado egg salad based on what you have on hand. Swap the mayo for plant based mayo, Greek yogurt or sour cream, or skip it altogether and use extra avocado for a fully avocado based version. Lemon juice can replace lime juice, and green onions or chives work well in place of red onion for a milder flavor. 

• For mix ins, try adding diced cucumber, celery, or bell peppers for extra crunch, or swap cilantro for parsley if you’re not a fan. If you like a little extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeño, and for more protein, mix in cooked bacon or shredded chicken.
