This one’s for you, my avo-obsessed friends. Okkkkkk, and also for my extreme 18-weeks-pregnant avocado cravings. GIMME ALL THE AVO!
At least it’s a healthy craving, right? And while we’ve got plenty of avo recipes to make the world go ’round here on JOL (Poached Egg & Avocado Breakfast Salad, Healthy Sriracha Tuna Stuffed Avocado, or Spicy Salmon Tacos w/ Avocado Lime Dressing, anyone?), it is my firm belief that there is always room for one more.
This Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich is vegetarian and can easily be made gluten-free!
There’s especially room for one more when it’s this delicious Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich! OMG y’all. OH. MY. GAH.
When will technology catch up with our feelings and let us send tasting samples over the internet??? I’ll do my best to keep this short, but guys. This Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich is nothing short of glorious.
Think creamy, cool avocado. Hearty, savory boiled eggs. Crunchy chopped walnuts. The zing of lemon juice and a hint of spicy crushed red pepper, all sandwiched between two slices of wholesome whole grain bread. I’ll take this for every meal, please and thank you!

Pregnant and craving greens/avocados, found this recipe and my mouth immediately watered and I added like 10 avocados to my shopping list. It wasn’t until after made it that I realized this was inspired by pregnancy cravings! I couldn’t find microgreens so just used baby spinach and though it was delicious, felt like it was missing something. Splashed some Chipotle flavored tobasco to my first sandwich and it brought it to a whole new level! I might eat all 6 servings in one sitting lol. Thanks for the recipe!

Does this keep for a day or two in the fridge? Or will it go bad because of the avocado?
Christine McMichael says
It can make it about a day if it’s covered well and mixed with lemon juice!
