I love egg salad. Also on the list of things that I love are: avocados, tomatoes, bacon, and scallions, to name a few. This is the absolute perfect lunch.
For one, it combines all of those favorite things listed.
And two, it is packed with protein and healthy fats to fill you up throughout the day, while being super simple to throw together!
This recipe replaces the standard mayonnaise that is ordinarily in egg salad with avocado. It is perfectly creamy and full of flavor!

Hi Steph, like looks awesome but how many servings is this recipe for? Thanks
6 eggs would be probably 2 or 3 servings but it honestly depends on how hungry you are 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! I think the combination of avocado and bacon is a match made in heaven.
my favourite foods 😀 awesome recipe love! i will try this soon
Whaaaat this looks SOO GOOD!! And super easy to whip up. Thanks!
Totally making this tonight, as I have all the ingredients! Yum!
Looks awesome!
I’m allergic to tomatoes though, any good suggestions on what to replace that with?
Amazing! Some of my favourite things… all together?! For the win!
I’ve never made egg salad before and didn’t realize it was so easy! This looks delicious and I love how there’s avocado in it!
I LOVE all of these ingredients, however I gotta say, I’m a little skeptical about them mixed together.
Maybe its the texture? Maybe its just me 😉
I wont knock it until I’ve tried it though……
Give it a try and let us know!
Made this just now and sooo good….added a little sriracha…..even better
This turned out sooo good. Made it last night to pack for lunch and I was tempted to eat like half of it after sampling a little.
Sneaking a snack, eh? 🙂
Are all of your recipes whole30 approved?
Not all, but a majority of them are. For all my Whole30 recipes in one place, check my Pinterest board: http://www.pinterest.com/stupideasypaleo/whole30/
Any idea how long this will last in the fridge? I’m just trying to figure out if it’ll last a week so I can space it out for lunches. Thanks! Great Idea!
I’d say a day or two at most. The tomatoes and bacon would get quite soft any longer than that.
looks awesome but how many servings is this recipe for?
I would say 2-3.
I’ve done this 3 or 4 times now. I tried the original recipe (substituted turkey bacon) and it was good. The next time I changed it up and did Cilantro and red onions for the scallions and bacon. Kind of a guacamole egg salad. May try some other ingredients in future tries.
Sounds super good, John!!
I’m going to make this like my standard egg salad and use the avocado as a substitute for mayo… excited to try it. Thanks for the idea!
Yay!! So happy you’re going to give it a try, Esther! Cheers!
FYI, Whole30’s Sonoma chicken salad uses avocado instead of mayo, along with red grapes and toasted pecans – we make that all the time.
Great with tuna salad as a sub for mayo as well!
How long could I refrigerate this for?
Hi Kristen…I’ve kept mine for a day or so after making it. The avocado does get a bit brown (doesn’t affect the taste at all).
By ground garlic do you mean garlic powder or crushed garlic or something else?
Hi Jeff…that means garlic powder 🙂
I made this this evening. Added some horseradish, a little lemon juice and chopped hot peppers. It was delicious! Even without adding my extra touches, is great. My husband loved it too. Will definitely become a go to easy meal. Thank you so much for putting this recipe out there for everyone to enjoy.
Glad you enjoyed it, Vickie and those add in’s sound tasty. 🙂
i am following whole30 … and find it difficult to find acceptable bacon, since most stores (even in case at whole foods) cure it with sugar. any one have suggestions??
It’s pretty hard to find. The brands that are out there with no sugar taste pretty terrible. (Exception: Pete’s Paleo bacon, available on their site.) I suggest using something like pancetta or prosciutto during Whole30 instead which typically has no sugar.
Costco’s low sodium bacon is cured without sugar. It’s in the red package.
I think I am going to try this without the bacon and perhaps swap it out for crisped Canadian bacon.
I bet that would be delicious.
This was so fabulous. I halved the recipe as I was afraid of no self control and Id eat all of it. I’m def making it again. Yum. I left out the tomatos as I’m not a huge fan. I also used reg white onions. 2 bites in I remembered the bacon I had cooked and forgotten.
🙂
can anyone tell me how many calories this is per serving?
Hi Erika…I don’t count calories for my recipe. All you have to do to figure it out is to enter the ingredients into something like MyFitnessPal to get the total then divide by the number of servings you want to split it into.
Ahh got it! Thanks!
Oh my gosh!! So good! I whipped it up this morning, only had bacon bits and no tomatoes but it was still yummy. Its for my lunch….but it was partly my breakfast too LOL!
This was so yummy! I was looking for a fast, easy, and tasty recipe for breakfast or lunch. I’m relatively new to Paleo eating, and it’s so nice to find sites like this one that help us newbies out. Thanks!!!
By the way, my phone wouldn’t let me select five stars, so…..
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m so glad to hear this, Lidia! Here’s to many more tasty recipes in your future. 🙂
Hi, I’ve never heard of ground garlic before. Do you mean garlic powder? Thanks 🙂
Garlic powder, yes.
