Green Egg Salad

Green Egg Salad made with Avocado

So your best friend decides to come over for some long-needed gossip time. Both of you are sick from eating restaurant or cruise food. With nothing much other than fruits and vegetables in my fridge, I whipped up this quick, easy, and healthy egg salad for our lunch today! This whole recipe was made in the little time I had left after eating breakfast and going for a swim at 9am. Left it in the fridge to cool and came home to slather it on some fluffy white bread. To be much more healthy than me, use a whole wheat bread full of seeds, nuts, and fibre!

Green Egg Salad Sandwich

This is a very green salad. Celery bits give a bit of crunch, green onion and basil (freshly picked from my new basil plant!) add flavour, and avocado binds the mixture together and adds various textures. If I had fresh spinach laying around, I'd add that too! The richness and creaminess comes from mashed avocado and a tad bit of Greek yogurt. You won't miss the fatty mayonnaise at all. I think avocado brings so much more to an egg salad. You see, my relationship with mayonnaise is the same with my relationship with butter, if not worse. Blech! This recipe is made from wholesome ingredients; no weird preservatives or chemicals added!
