Avocado Egg Salad



Who doesn't love a good egg-salad?!  This recipe is a great way to get the benefits of the EGG and some healthy fats (remember our January newsletter - Eat Fat to Lose Fat).

Trying to keep your carbs down?  Eat it off the bread or throw it onto some lettuce (maybe a spinach/kale/roman mix?)

This recipe is on our "try soon" list!


Avocado Egg Salad from www.HappyHealthyMama.com

(the author claims she liked it as much as a regular egg salad - so give it a try!)


Avocado Egg Salad
Makes enough for 3 sandwiches
1/2 of a large avocado
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (If you are iffy on hard boiled eggs, take a look at this tutorial)
1 teaspoon country dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt (not pictured)
1 (scant) tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped (not pictured)
Optional add-ins for crunch:  red bell pepper, celery, or pickles.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocado well.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.  Serve on your favorite bread, in a wrap, or on top of a bed of lettuce.
Each serving contains approximately 118 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 8 grams of fat.
