Egg Salad with Avocado

Egg Salad with Avocado is a creamy, modern twist on the classic American egg salad, where mashed avocado replaces traditional mayonnaise as the binding agent. It typically features hard-boiled eggs, ripe avocado, lime or lemon juice, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and sometimes herbs or onions. While egg salad itself is a staple of Western delis and home cooking, the avocado addition reflects contemporary health-conscious and global fusion trends.
