Bacon Avocado Egg Salad, not your everyday egg salad, made with egg, avocado, onion, celery, sour cream, cumin, salt, and pepper.
This bacon avocado egg salad is a change up from your typical everyday egg salad, there is no mayonnaise the avocado is added to replace the mayonnaise.
Mike and I love a good egg salad sandwich. I usually blend the eggs with salad dressing (Miracle Whip), salt, and pepper and possibly a bit of pickle relish. During Lent it is our typical go to lunch on Fridays, but during the year we will sneak in an egg sandwich here and there.
I am all for healthier recipes and I love the flavor of the eggs and the avocado, so it really was a no-brainer to change out the salad dressing/mayonnaise for the avocado. And you know what I really didn’t miss the salad dressing.
The avocado brings a refreshing new taste to my old favorite egg salad sandwich. I can bet that if you try this sandwich you will not miss the mayonnaise either.

Now that’s a SANDWICH! Bacon, avocado and egg…everything you need for a great lunch.
I like egg salad, and make it from time to time. Wonderful in a sandwich! Or all by itself. Never thought to add avocado to the mix, though. I will next time. Thanks!
Bill is the egg salad lover at our house—and he also is crazy for bacon. He will love your recipe, Dawn!
I love the idea of using avocado instead of mayonnaise! And I do love a good egg salad sammich, too. I’m totally going to have to make these…and soon. And definitely on a bagel!
What a refreshing twist to egg salad!
You have certainly dressed up egg salad with your recipe. I’ve got an avocado still on my counter right now ripening. I know what I’ll be having over the weekend.
