I have been spending this wonderful weekend with my favorite guy in my life:
My dad!
He is in town to run the Omaha Marathon…and to see me, of course! šĀ I don’t want to spend too much time blogging/with technology this weekend, so I am just dropping by to share a quick and delicious Summertime recipe, even though it is technically the first day of Fall.Ā Heck, I plan on eating this one year round!
Guacamole Egg Salad
Servings: 2
Ingredients
6 hard-boiled eggwhites (you can use the whole egg, but I don’t like hard-boiled yolks), chopped
1 ripe avocado, smashed
juice of 1 small lime
1 small tomato, chopped
1/4 red onion, diced
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
sea salt, to taste
Romaine lettuce OR four pieces of whole wheat bread (toasted)
salsa, optional
Directions
I hope these directions aren’t too difficult to comprehend ;).
1. Place all ingredients into a medium bowl.
2. Stir until well-combined.
3. Store covered in your refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
4. Once chilled, serve in sandwich form or over a bed a lettuce.Ā Top with salsa, if desired.
I ate this for dinner in salad form with lots of salsa!
It was seriously SO good!
I have recently been obsessed with all things “egg salad” related…add in some avocado and I am extra happy!
I ate my second serving of the salad in sandwich form on break at work the next day (hence the gorgeous paper plate).Ā I loved it served between two slices of toasted whole wheat bread.Ā I left off the salsa this time, but it was just as good!
I love a salad that I can enjoy in multiple ways.Ā This, my friends, is a good one.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! š

Hardboiled egg yolks freak me out! They’re so dry and chalky.
I love anything with avocado, too!
Agreed! I LOVE runny egg yolks, but the hardboiled kind are NOT for me!
I got really into making guac egg salad last year! So tasty and a great alternative to normal egg salad. I also mix my guac with tuna sometimes!
I think guac goes good with everything!
Such a beautiful pic of you and your Dad! Enjoy your time!
That saladcombo is SO good, I absolutely need to try it. Even better on toast!!
Thank you!! It has been a great weekend :).
This looks delicious!! I’ve been having egg in my salads recently and loving it so I need to give your recipe a go as it looks yummy! š
Enjoy the time with your dad.
You definitely should!! This was one TASTY salad!
congrats on the marathon, to your dad and the salad looks good!
Thank you, to both!! š
Mmm… two of my favorite things – hard boiled eggs and guacamole! I bet this would be delicious in a lettuce wrap š
Great minds think alike! š That was my original plan, but the hearts of Romaine were not looking so pretty..so I just went with already chopped up Romaine.
I love guacamole and boiled eggs, win win! I love your polka dot scarf too, so fun. Good luck to your dad!
Thank you!! I am a major polka dot fan :).
Enjoy the time with your dad – hope the marathon went well. To me, guacamole has no season. This sounds tasty!
I agree!! Guacamole is perfect for every time of year :).
I used to not be able to eat hard boiled eggs at all but lately can’t get enough! I even eat them plain now! So weird! I hate mayo so if I make egg salad or tuna salad I use avocados. So good!
I don’t like mayo either, so using avocado is the perfect solution! I do, however, love vegan “mayo.” Weird? š
hope you had a wonderful time with the dad š this is a great lunch idea too.
I certainly did!
Love the looks of this salad and that picture of you and your dad is great! I hope the marathon went great….. I was thinking about him while I was running on Sunday. š
Thank you!! And that is awesome :). He did really well!!
I’m obsessed with avocado in egg salad. It adds the most fabulous creamy texture! You look SO beautiful in that pic–have the best time with you daddio!
Aww, thanks so much for your kind words :).
Have a great time with your dad! I love egg and avocado together…super healthy and tastes good!
AGREED! Most definitely one of the best combos EVER!
How cool that your dad is running the marathon!
And yes, guac is 100% on point year round (even if the avocados technically aren’t…. LOL!).
Yes, there is never a day when I could not eat an avocado.
Yum.Yum.Yum. This is the PERFECT recipe for me. Love avocados and egg whites! Hope your dad did well in the marathon š
Thank you!! And he did! It was a great weekend :).
Yum! I love the idea of using avaocado vs. mayo, what a great idea! Love this! Thanks for sharing xo C
You’re welcome! Please let me know if you try it :).
Aww, you and your dad look GREAT in that photo! Hope the marathon went well for him š I love using guac in place of mayo, especially with shrimp salad so I’m sure this egg salad version would be a hit. Happy Monday!
Thank you!! And yes, you really don’t need mayo when you have avocado..it’s the best thing ever :).
Avocado is the BEST mayo replacer! I can’t believe how much I used to love mayo… ewwww!
P.S. Your dad is so cool!
It really is! I LOVE it!!
And thanks, haha! I’ll let him know! š
Oh YUM! I’m not usually a huge fan of eggs, but I love avocado so much that I’m sure I would LOVE this!
I bet you sure would!! I bet it would be good with chickpeas instead of eggs, too!
This looks good! I love combining hard boiled eggs with avocado in sandwiches and salads!
Agreed! It is one of the best combos in existence.
Wow, great idea!! Totally keeping this one in my back pocket. š
Thanks! Please let me know if you try it!
I have tried egg salad SO many different ways, but I have never tried guacamole egg salad. This looks SO good!
Thank you! You should definitely give this version a try! š
I love that your dad is there to run a marathon! I would say you have a pretty cool dad. This avocado and egg salad sounds great! I think it’s funny I love the runny yolk of fried eggs but don’t like the hard boiled egg yolk at all.
Yes, my dad is definitely pretty cool! š
Woah, your dad is a badass for running a marathon! Glad you had fun this weekend. I love avocados and eggs so I automatically think that you have excellent taste. š
Haha, thank you!! Yes, avocado is a MUST for me!
Holy moly your dad is lightening fast!! That’s incredible time for a marathon.
Your lentil based Philly Cheesesteak looked out of this world good! You should recreate that one!!
All of your food looked incredible. I’m the same way when I order a veggie platter for dinner. I have to load up on bread too!
I definitely SHOULD recreate it, though I have a feeling that it wouldn’t be quite as good! š
I love egg salad and I love avocado –> perfect recipe for me!! Thanks for sharing.
Hi there!
I LOVE seeing you experiment with new flavor combinations (like this, and like the egg/polenta stack!). When I was vegan/veg, I worked tirelessly to come up with recipes that hit my sweet/savory spot and kept my health goals aligned. I love reading the new creations you come up with – keep thinking outside the box š
Thanks for sharing,
Sarah
