- 4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- Lettuce leaves for serving
- Place the chopped hard-boiled eggs in a medium bowl.
- Add the mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard (if using), chopped celery, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
- Use a fork to gently mix all ingredients until they are combined. Do not overmix; you want some texture remaining.
- Taste the mixture and adjust salt or pepper as needed.
- To assemble the sandwich, place lettuce leaves on two slices of bread.
- Spoon half of the avocado egg salad mixture onto the lettuce on each sandwich base.
- Top with the remaining bread slices.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a tangier flavor, substitute the Greek yogurt with sour cream.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the ingredients briefly in a food processor instead of mashing by hand.
- You can substitute celery with finely chopped red onion for a sharper taste.
- This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to three days for make-ahead lunch prep.
