This quick and delicious avocado egg salad is packed with healthy fats and protein! Perfect for easy healthy lunches, this egg salad is paleo and Whole30 friendly.
As much as I love a good classic egg salad, there are times I’m not in the mood for a mayo based dressing.
Which is where avocado comes in!
I have a guacamole chicken salad AND an older recipe for deviled avocado egg salad that you check out if you’re on an avocado kick.
This recipe is super simple, packed with flavor, protein and healthy fats.
If you already have your eggs hardboiled, it’s a 5 minute meal served in lettuce wraps, over a green salad or on toast (if you’re not doing Whole30).
I know you’ll love it as much as I do! Let’s get into the details so you can make this egg salad ASAP!

How to Make Avocado Egg Salad
Chop your hardboiled eggs (see below for my hard boiling method) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the avocados and remove the pit and place in the bowl with the eggs, then add the onions, lemon juice, chopped pickles, dill and chives.
Mash ingredients together well, then add a generous amount of sea salt and black pepper, to taste.
Serve right away on lettuce or however you like! Enjoy!
My Perfect Hard Boiled Egg Method
I always use this method to hard boil eggs and they turn out perfectly every time.
First I put my eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1″.
Then on the stovetop, I bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover with a fitted lid.
I allow the eggs to steam this way for about 15 minutes.
Lastly, I transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, then peel them.
Okay, we’re ready to start (and eat!) now! I know you’ll love how simple and delicious this one is – let’s go!
