This avocado egg salad has a rich, creaminess from the avocado and a robust sweet and savory spiciness from the curry powder.
Isaac and I aren’t big mayo fans. I usually sub Greek yogurt for mayo whenever I’m making a protein salad like with my Greek yogurt chicken salad and tuna salad. When I saw a recipe for egg salad made with avocado instead of mayo (which was probably on Pinterest), I knew I had to try it for myself.
For this recipe I used my go-to curried egg salad recipe but instead of using regular mayonnaise or vegan mayo, I added a 1/4 of an avocado.
Adding curry powder to egg salad is something I started doing a couple years ago and now I don’t make egg salad without it! This particular recipe has a rich, creaminess from the avocado and a robust sweet and savory spiciness from the curry powder. The two pair together quite nicely.
This avocado egg recipe is really easy to make. Once your eggs are boiled, this salad comes together in no time at all. Here’s what you need:

Ahh yay!! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Gabrielle. Thanks for the review, I so appreciate it!
YUM! Had to substitute turmeric for the curry & it was still delicious!
I LOVE this recipe! The eggs with the curry is so flavorful. I never would have thought of combining them. This is my “go-to” for packing sandwiches/pita/wraps to go.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Meredith!! Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I really appreciate it. 🙂
This is a delicious, easy lunch. As someone who has been known to request extra mayo, I didn’t miss the mayo at all thanks to the awesome curry flavor.

Made this today– absolutely amazing! The curry adds such a delicious flavour that a regular egg salad just can’t beat! One suggestion, though: make sure your measuring spoons are available to use, otherwise you might add too much vinegar.
