Lighten up classic egg salad by swapping in creamy avocado instead of using mayonnaise. Sandwich it between toasted whole-wheat bread and you've got an easy, packable lunch ready for work or school.
Ingredients:
½ ripe avocado
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon avocado oil
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
¼ cup finely chopped celery (about 1 stalk)
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
4 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, toasted
2 leaves lettuce
Directions:
Scoop the flesh from the avocado half into a medium bowl. Add lemon juice and oil; mash until mostly smooth. Add chopped eggs, celery, chives, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Divide the mixture between 2 slices of toast. Top each with a piece of lettuce and another slice of toast.
