I would have never thought to combine eggs and avocados, but after reading the recipe it sounds totally interesting. I can see why this is a go-to meal, it has a little bit of everything.
ReplyDeleteI am going to make this ASAP!! How long does it keep for?
ReplyDeleteYay! Hope ya like it!! I wouldn't keep it longer than 3-4 days. It helps to to place in single serving containers that are airtight. The top will start to brown a little because of the avocado, but it will still be good. I froze some, so we'll see how that goes!
DeleteThis looks really good and I do not typically like egg salad. I think I will make it for my next picnic, which is tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it would be a great dip or something to roll into a wrap. Either way, really love the recipe, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow this looks scrummy :)
