Avocado Egg Salad.

I love hard boiled eggs so when I found out I was selected as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program to receive coupons for Land O Lakes eggs, I knew I'd create a recipe using hard boiled eggs.  I decided to use my fresh, hormone-free eggs to make this satisfying twist on egg salad.

  • 8 Land O Lakes eggs, hard boiled & peeled
  • 2 avocados
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1 T dijon mustard
  • 1 T rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • good bread (for sandwiches)
  • lettuce
Slice eggs in half. Scoop the yolk from three eggs into a bowl and set aside. Coarsely chop the whites from those three eggs plus the other five whole eggs and place in a bowl.  Peel and coarsely chop the two avocados. Add half of an avocado to the bowl containing the egg yolks and mash together.  Put the other one and a half avocados in the bowl with the chopped eggs; add chopped onion.  Gently mix chopped eggs, onion & avocado and set aside.  To the mashed egg yolk & avocado mixture, add mustard, vinegar, & parley.  Mix well. Gently fold this mixture into the chopped egg, avocado & onion.  Serve on a bed of lettuce or as a sandwich and enjoy!
