    Inevitably, Easter left us with a lot of hard-boiled eggs so when I found the recipe for Hummus Egg Salad off Amy’s Cooking Adventures for Secret Recipe Club this month, I knew what I’d be making!

    Amy is a SAHM with 2 handsome little boys and she has so many wonderful recipes on her blog – it was hard picking one! My husband wanted me to make her Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese because, well, anything with bacon gets his vote but I really needed to use up those Easter eggs. So, the husband will have to wait! :)
    This recipe is so simple and a healthier version of egg salad! No mayonaise needed! It’s perfect for a party appetizer a lunch on an english muffin or a snack with some carrot sticks!

  2. Avocado Egg Salad

    June 25, 2012 by erinRD

    Adapted from Relishing It

    Hello – is there anybody out there still? Dylan turned 6 week on Saturday and we are finally getting into a routine around here!

    Hopefully that means more recipe posts! I have been cooking more often and trying new recipes but haven’t had time to take pictures or post anything and I miss it!

    I found this recipe when I was still pregnant and kept it because it’s easy and healthy! I’ve made it a bunch of times and it’s perfect for a quick lunch while I have a break from changing diapers or staring at my baby thinking “Is he REALLY mine??” :)

    2 hard-boiled eggs, diced
    1 ripe avocado, mashed
    2 Tablespoons red onion, diced
    1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh green onions, finely chopped
    juice of a small lemon or lime
    kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper

    How to make perfect hard-boiled eggs:  In a sauce pan, place the eggs in a single layer.  Fill pan with cold water and make sure it covers the eggs by an inch.  Place pan on the stove and bring to a boil.  Boil for 1 minute.  Cover and remove from heat.  Set a timer for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, place eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

    To make the egg salad:  In a medium-sized bowl, mash the avocado and some of the lemon juice together until creamy, add salt and pepper.  Remember you can always add more lemon juice at the end to get it to your desired consistency, but you can never take it out.  Gently fold in the egg and onions.  Re-season with lemon juice, salt, or pepper, if necessary. Serves 2. Nutritional Information does not include bread.

     

    Taste Test: Delicious! The avocado makes a creamy egg salad without the extra fat of mayo! The only thing is – make sure to eat it all in one day. I tried it the next day and even though the lime or lemon juice helps prevent the avocado from browning, it just isn’t very good the next day. But the day of – it’s great! Enjoy!!
