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.

Curry Powder in Egg Salads

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.

Ingredients Needed:

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:

hard boiled eggs
red onion or green onion
relish or chopped pickles – you can leave out the relish/pickles but I really like the flavor they add.
dijon mustard
apple cider vinegar
avocado
salt
pepper
curry powder
raisins, dill and celery – optional add-ins.

How to Serve Avocado Egg Salad

I love how diverse egg salad is! Here are some serving suggestions:

With crackers for a snack or an appetizer. Try my almond flour crackers.
On bread or in a wrap for a sandwich (I love the pita pockets with little spring mix and tomato slices).
Over a bed of greens for a meal-sized salad.
