Do eggs and avocado taste good together?

Absolutely, and this easy avocado egg salad recipe is proof! If you love a classic egg salad recipe with a creamy yet tangy dressing, then you will love the addition of avocado with its creamy consistency and earthy flavors. It pairs perfectly with eggs and other ingredients such as fresh dill, pickles, and cucumbers.

Can I use tuna instead of eggs?

If these flavors appeal to your tastebuds, but you’re craving tuna, I think it would be delicious. I would suggest reducing the eggs and adding the fish for a tuna egg salad with avocados.

What can I use instead of mustard in egg salad?

Instead of mustard, choose another acidic ingredient such as vinegar (white or apple cider will do), dill pickle juice, or citrus juice like lemon or lime.

Instructions

Prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the salad. Add salad ingredients to a large salad bowl. Stir in the dressing and gently toss to combine. Taste for salt and pepper. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Sour Cream: Depending on the brand of the sour cream used, the dressing might be more on the thick side. Do not add any additional ingredients to thin out the dressing. As the salad chills, the vegetables will release some of their juices and the salad will be perfectly creamy.
Herbs: You can use a combination of your favorite fresh herbs for the dressing. I personally love parsley, dill, and cilantro, but fresh oregano, chives, and even a little fresh tarragon would be great.
Serving: For an open-faced sandwich, I toasted whole wheat bread, topped it with arugula, and then added the salad. Fresh sliced radishes or cucumbers would also be tasty to add.
