10-Minute Avocado Egg Salad– Perfect For Those Who Want To Shed Some Extra Pounds And Be Healthy!

Contrary to popular belief, it’s actually safe and healthy to eat eggs (yolks included!). They’re loaded with protein and disease-fighting nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin. Eggs are also fantastic for eye and brain health.

Because egg salad is one of America’s favorite ways to eat eggs, why not kick it up a notch with a little avocado and turmeric: the vegetable is full of protein, potassium and healthy fats while the spice can help battle inflammation as well as cancer!

Serving Tips

Instead of just sticking to the timeless egg salad sandwich, make salad wraps by placing a spoon filled with egg salad in romaine or bibb lettuce.

Try adding sprouts, peppers, carrots or tomatoes for a really elevated snack. You can also try this trick with endives or radicchio for a quick hors-d’oeuvre.

Another option is to add sliced apple and boiled potato for more texture. Green apple actually works well, especially with the red onion!
