For years now, I’ve been making avocado toast, topped with eggs. Well today I’m introducing you to a GAME CHANGER!
I combined the egg and avocado into a deliciously fresh avocado egg salad. I then put that right on top of the toast. So easy, so light and so flavorful!
If you love a classic egg salad, you’re really going to love this version with avocado! I like to make a big batch of the salad on Sunday or Monday. I put it on toast for breakfast or lunch throughout the week. It’s easy to make ahead of time and great for meal prepping.
Everything bagel seasoning and an extra drizzle of lemon juice on top really takes this egg salad toast over the top. I like to pick up a bottle of Everything Bagel Seasoning at Trader Joe’s.
If you don’t have a TJ’s near, you can easily mix up the seasoning at home. Bowls Are The New Plates has a great Everything Bagel Seasoning recipe that’s easy to make in 5 minutes! You can also add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper on top if you don’t have everything bagel seasoning.
Fresh avocados + fresh herbs + fresh lemon juice = an egg salad recipe that tastes delicious, with the most creamy texture!
Ingredients
Here I explain the best ingredients for this avocado egg salad recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For the exact ingredient measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Avocado – when picking out avocados, you want to give them a gentle squeeze to find the ripe avocados. If they’re hard as a rock, they’re not ready yet. If your finger sinks into the skin of the avocado, it’s too ripe and likely brown inside. You want avocados that have a little give when gently squeezed.
- Hard boiled eggs – this post on how to hard boil eggs is jam-packed with information for how to cook and peel hard boiled eggs! I highly recommend checking it out.
- Green bell pepper – This gives the salad a nice crunch. To spice things up, you could use a jalapeno instead of the bell pepper.
- Greek yogurt – you could also use mayonnaise, but I like to use plain whole milk Greek yogurt to lighten things up a bit.
- Olive oil
- Lemon juice
- Fresh dill
- Fresh parsley
- Sea salt
Instructions
I’ve included step by step photos below to make this recipe super easy to follow at home. For the full detailed recipe instructions, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Hard boil the eggs. Gently place the eggs in a large pot of boiling water over high heat with 1 teaspoon baking soda. Cook the eggs for 11 minutes over medium heat. Remove the eggs from the water and place them in a bowl of ice water for 15 minutes. Remove from the ice bath and peel the eggs.
- Prepare the avocado egg salad. Add an avocado to a medium bowl and roughly mash, leaving some small chunks of avocado. Dice the peeled hard boiled eggs and add them to the bowl. Add minced green bell pepper, greek yogurt, olive oil and lemon juice. Add finely chopped dill, parsley and sea salt. Use a spatula to gently stir everything together. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Ways to serve it
I love this avocado egg salad so much, I always make a double batch and serve it a couple of different ways. Try each of them and comment below with your favorite way to serve the salad!
Make avocado egg salad toast. Toast four slices of bread then divide the avocado egg salad across the toasted bread. Top with a sprinkling of everything bagel seasoning and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Make it into a wrap. Warm a large tortilla in the microwave for 15 seconds. Add the avocado egg salad to the middle of the tortilla. Feel free to add spinach or mixed greens, if you’d like. Wrap it up and serve immediately or place in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Make it into a sandwich. Place the egg salad between two slices of your favorite bread, a toasted bagel, or in a croissant. Once again, you can always add spinach, lettuce or other greens, if you’d like.
This is also a great recipe for parties or picnics. Slice a baguette into 12 pieces. Place them on a baking sheet and into a 400°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Top the toasted baguette pieces with avocado egg salad and everything bagel seasoning. The perfect bite sized party app is served!
For a low carb, keto option, serve the egg salad in lettuce wraps. The avocado egg salad is only 6 carbs per serving when served in lettuce wraps or on it’s own.
How to store it
Stored properly, avocado egg salad will last 3-5 days in the refrigerator. To store the egg salad, I recommend placing it in a storage container. Press a piece of plastic wrap on top of the salad, then place the lid on the storage container.
The plastic wrap will help prevent air from getting into the salad and will help prevent the avocado from turning brown.
This recipe makes 4 servings, but can easily be doubled to make more and store for meals throughout the week.

Another winner Whitney! Glenda made this today, using yellow bell peppers. It was soooo good and refreshing! We made sandwiches adding only lettuce, but a salad on a bed of lettuce sounds mighty fine, too!
My husband made this a couple of weeks ago. AMAZING! I’m making again tomorrow! Super tasty! (He made his own everything seasoning.). He has made several of your recipes. Thank you!
This was delicious. I forgot the green bell pepper…but it was still very very good. Thank you!
