    This hearty and refreshing Avocado Egg Salad is a nutritious and flavorful alternative to traditional egg salad. It combines the richness of eggs with the creamy texture of avocados. This mayo-free version is perfect for those seeking a natural creamy version without compromising on taste.​

    We love protein rich meatless salads that are filling and satisfying. Chickpea Salad, Quinoa Tabbouleh and Black Bean and Corn Salad are few our other favorites besides this healthy avocado salad with eggs.

    Mayo-free Egg and avocado salad is a modern take on the classic egg salad, replacing mayonnaise with mashed avocado. This substitution not only enhances the nutritional profile but also adds a unique flavor and creamy consistency.​ This is one of my favorite complete meal salads.

    This Healthy Avocado Egg salad is

    • Gluten-free
    • grain free
    • soy free
    • low carb - keto friendly
    • easy, simple and filling
    • full of protein, fiber and nutrients
    • No Mayonnaise Avocado Egg Salad is creamy and smooth

    Ingredients

    Ingredients used in gluten-free avocado salad with eggs,
    • Eggs: I prefer to use fresh and organic eggs which are hard boiled. You can use either White or Brown Eggs.
    • Avocado : I used medium sized, ripe Hass Avocado. Cut the avocado just before mixing the salad. If you have already cut it, cover it with lemon juice to prevent from oxidizing.
    • Veggies : I used mini Cucumbers, tomatoes, green lettuce and red onions. More the colors, healthier the salad. Feel free to use your favorite veggies.
    • Herbs : Fresh mint and cilantro are my favorite for this combination.
    • Olive Oil and lemon Dressing : This dressing adds terrific flavors to this salad. Combine best quality extra virgin Italian olive oil, dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper.
    • Super easy super delish dressing is surefire awesome. You can also add dried or fresh herbs like chives, dill, or parsley.

    Classic Egg salad is a great, healthy option for lunch. This recipe adds not only avocado but also lime, cilantro and red onion. Together, these components make this a flavorful, delicious dish.

    Serving Suggestion

    This Avocado Egg Cucumber Salad recipe is quick and easy to prepare. It is best consumed fresh as it can be put together in minutes.

    Use it as a healthy meal choice. Perfect for busy weekday lunches/dinners.

    You can serve it on a toast,  make a wrap or sandwiches, eat it as a snack, or as a salsa for accompanying your chips.

    Pro tips for making best Egg and Avocado Salad

    1. Use fresh and clean ingredients like eggs, avocados, veggies for salads as some of them are to be consumed raw.
    2. Wash the raw ingredients thoroughly and make sure all the dirt particles are removed.
    3. Use our Instant Pot Eggs to make best, easy to peel and consistently perfect eggs every time.
    4. Cut and add the avocado at the last moment before mixing the salad so that it does not turn brown and look unappealing.

    Variations to try

    • Different dressings: You can also use Caesar salad dressing or avocado cilantro dressing Mix in diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for heat.
    • Add grains: Quinoa, barley, couscous or Farro are great choices.
    • Protein change : You can add chickpeas or beans or lentils instead of eggs and keep it vegan. Incorporate shredded cheddar or crumbled feta for a cheesy variation.
    • Additional veggies : Artichokes, olives, carrots, broccoli, kale, arugula, baby spinach are good options.
