Avocado-Egg Salad

When I was little, my Aunt Norma Elliott was my regular baby-sitter,  Many of my earliest memories include her.  She was awesome - she taught me how to read, sing, sew, and be happy even when things didn't go my way.

On of our favorite outings was to take a picnic lunch to the park, where my Uncle Budge Elliott worked.  One favorite meal was an Egg Salad Sandwich.  While Aunt Norm was wonderful about making it just right, she wasn't super picky about getting all of the eggshell off!  To this day, a crunchy bite of egg shell will send shivers down my back & flood my mind with happy memories of picnics with Aunt Norm & Uncle Budge!

Fast forward to today, & I am on a weight-loss journey, searching for yummy meals that fill me up, and came across this one for an Egg Salad Sandwich.  I like it, but wanted to adapt a bit, so came up with my own recipe version.

Avocado-Egg Salad

Serves just me - if you want some with me, then we'll double it!

2 eggs, hard boiled

1/2 avocado

1/2 t mayonnaise

1/8 t mustard

1/2 t pickle relish

salt & pepper, to taste

a squeeze of lemon

bread, if you want to make it into a sandwich

Cut up the eggs & avocado to the best size for your taste.  Mix in the other ingredients and spread on the bread, as desired.  

The lemon will add a spark of flavor and keep the avocado from turning brown.  If you want the bread, choose the healthiest possible - I prefer something from Great Harvest Bread Company - not only does it always taste amazing, but I can actually pronounce and understand what all the ingredients are!
