I serve it as a big ole entree for me, and me only! Me likey mucho.
Alright Alright Alright! Hallo, Monday! Hallo, my dear friends! Remember when your dad used to answer the phone with, “YELLOW?” Remember that!?
I used to think, “Oh my gosh, stop it dad, you’re so ancient!”
The guy was like 38…
Uhm, yah… I’m like a year away from that number. Doesn’t seem so ancient anymore, now does it?
Annnnywaaaays….
SO! Let’s get this week started with:
HOW TO MAKE AVOCADO EGG SALAD
WITH Bacon. BOOM! Suddenly, our food-life seems complete!
We’re keeping it simple today. Like, whoa! it’s Monday! type-of-simple. Â Just kick your feet up and enjoy.
Oh no, wait. This does involve a bit of chopping, so get your feet off the table and grab a knife. BUT don’t be like me and sharpen thy knife, then forget that you sharpened it, and then go slicing up avocados and fingers all at the same time, m’kay? Don’t be like me.
I eat avocados like it’s my job. Every day I eat half of an avocado for lunch and sometimes I finish the other half for dinner. A sprinkle of salt and pepper with a squeeze of lime juice is all I need to devour my green and buttery friend.
However, sometimes my breakfast friends, eggs and bacon, love to get up all in that mix and make this girl a very, very happy gourmand.
Before I toss the salad, I shake up a yogurt dressing with a little sour cream, some lime juice and dill – so good! Tangy and creamy, just as it should be, but without the mayo.
NOTES
I always think about putting ranch dressing on this salad. Sounds good, right? Ranch could always be the answer to all my foods. Like, french fries. YUM!
You might also consider adding chopped carrots, celery and capers, and take this salad to your aunt’s potluck. Just a thought.
ENJOY!

What is considered a serving for this recipe? Is the nutrition information that you posted for the entire dish? I made this recipe and it is wonderful. I am following a keto diet and it is perfect meal.
Paul Smith says
It works with anything really that you use avocados with. I personally have forgotten about some fridge for 9 days and when I open the container to dispose of it was still just as pretty green as the day I made it. It works try it. Thanks for your delicious recipes.
sepatu cewek says

I have made this recipe many times and keep myself going back to it because it’s one of those that uses pretty standard ingredients and makes a wonderful salad for lunch. I highly recommend.
Sarah says
Do you by chance know the calorie, fat, protein, and carbs intake on this?
Katerina Petrovska says
Hi Sarah! The nutritional facts are there now. I hope that helps! 🙂
Jan says
I can’t eat onions of any kind. The rest of it sounds good. What’s not to like, avocado, bacon,and eggs.
Megan @ MegUnprocessed says
I love avocados. These look fantastic.
Sarah says
How many servings does this make?
Katerina Petrovska says
Hi! That would be about 4 servings.
Karen says
Hi Katerina! I SO want to make this for lunch but I’m totally out of limes & yogurt. When you talked about trying this with ranch dressing, is that without using ANY of the yogurt dressing ingredients? Wanted to make sure ’cause I’m dying to whip some up! 😉
Katerina Petrovska says
Hi Karen! Yes, your favorite brand of ranch dressing, only. 🙂
Karen says
Thank you so much for the quick response! I’m going into the kitchen now to get started! 🙂
Victoria Brown says
Oh Its yummy I like to eat avocado egg salad. I really like it. Thanks alot Katerina for sharing this blog with us.
Tanya says
Quick question – possible to make the day ahead? Having a brunch and would like to prep as much as possible. The avocado is my only fear, but the lime may keep it from turning brown. Just curious!
Katerina Petrovska says
Hi Tanya! I’ve tried doing that, but no matter how much lime you put on that avocado, it will still turn brown after a few hours. But, you can make the rest of the salad a day ahead and then add the avocado the next day, right before you’re ready to serve it. I think that may be the best way to go about it.
Juanice says
I wonder if after making the salad ahead, if you could take plastic wrap & lay directly on the salad, pressing down a little to seal then press up the sides. It’s actually air that causes avocados to brown. I do this with guacomole & it works fine. Just a thought…
Katerina Petrovska says
Thank you for that tip!! I will most definitely give it a try – anything to keep my guacamole green and fresh! 🙂
Emily Smith says
Just a little trick that an awesome Latino chef taught me years ago. If you put the pit in with the salad it will never turn brown. It works with guacamole or anything really that you use avocados with. I personally have forgotten about some guacamole in the fridge for 9 days and when I open the container to dispose of it was still just as pretty green as the day I made it. It works try it. Thanks for your delicious recipes.
Katerina Petrovska says
This is BY FAR the best tip/trick of ever! THANK YOU so much for sharing with me!!! xoxo
Barbara says
I often substitute plain yogurt for sour cream, so I’m wondering if you actually need the T. of sour cream?
Katerina Petrovska says
Hi Barbara! No, you don’t – it just adds a bit of flavor.

I loved this salad. It was so light and fresh with the healthy dressing, and my husband even cleaned his plate. I did toss in a handful of shredded cheddar and omitted the salt. (not that it HAD to have cheese, but was just in the mood for it) Thank you for sharing.

That’s so awesome! I’m very happy to know that you enjoyed it!! Thank YOU!
