Avocado Egg Salad is a delicious twist on a traditional egg salad with the addition of rich creamy avocado. To take this wrap from ordinary to extraordinary, it’s topped with fresh lettuce, ripe juicy tomatoes, and crisp smoky bacon.
I absolutely love an effortless meal, especially towards the end of summer when I’d much rather be outdoors than in the kitchen over a hot stove!
A Delicious Twist on a Family Favorite
I am excited to have partnered with Flatout to bring you this Avocado Egg Salad; a delicious twist on a family favorite! Bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado and of course egg all smothered in a creamy avocado dressing to create a salad that is truly unique!
I love everything avocado or avocado inspired (including Avocado Deviled Eggs). Bacon? Can’t live without it! Lettuce? A crisp necessity for any sandwich. So, it’s not a surprise that these three fantastic foods have found their way together to accompany creamy egg salad in this BLT Avocado Egg Salad!
A Great Source of Protein
Egg Salad has been around for centuries. It is suggested that it made its first appearance in the mid 18th century. Eggs, being the least expensive protein, were a solid staple in most homes. To this day eggs remain a convenient, inexpensive protein option, which is why egg salad and egg salad sandwiches are still so popular.
Fast forward to this moment, when inspiration takes flight and a new twist on this old favorite is born. I have combined all the key ingredients of a traditional egg salad; egg, mayonnaise, garlic and chives, and simply added in some extra creamy rich flavor with both mashed and cubed avocados!
What would encase this glorious mountain of sandwich fillings? Flatout Foldit® Flatbread of course! It encases all the yummy goodness in a delicious hand held bite.
Of course any good egg salad starts with perfectly hard boiled eggs. It’s very simple to make perfect eggs if you know how. While they’re great for egg salad, they’re perfect for snacks on the go or to slice up on a piece of toast too!
How to Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
I make fail-proof (and easy to peel) hard boiled eggs on the stove top. If you have an Instant Pot, check here for Instant Pot Hard Boiled eggs which are the easiest peeling eggs ever!
A Crisp and Filling Meal
This Avocado Egg Salad sandwich is a perfect solution for taking on sweet summer picnics, a complete and satisfying sandwich to take on your next road trip, or as a simple and delicious lunch or even dinner on a hot summer day! It is so fresh, crisp and filling and the best part is how easy it is to make!
You will have loads of extra time to soak up the sun or just relax in your backyard with a glass of my Easy Homemade Strawberry Lemonade!
While this Avocado Egg Salad recipe is delicious as written, you can always modify it:
- If you do not have bacon, simply omit it. Or a slice of ham would accompany this sandwich nicely in place of the bacon.
- Not a fan of tomatoes? Try chopped roasted red peppers. So delicious!
- Replace the mayonnaise with your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing for an extra punch of flavor!
- Replace the Foldit with a Flatout Flatbread for a perfectly portable wrap!

I stumbled upon your site through Pinterest. I love the easy, frugal recipes. Soooooo easy to print off as well, along with the wonderful tips. This is an excellent site for a new cook and even a seasoned cook. Thank you.
Thank you so much Leah, Happy Cooking!
Does the avocado turn if not used all at once?
The lemon juice helps keep the avocado from browning (make sure you mix that part first). When storing, lay a piece of plastic wrap directly over the egg salad (you can still top it with a lid in a plastic container) to help it last a bit longer.
oh my gosh, made this today, so yummy and easy. Instead of putting it on flat bread, I cut up the tomato and bacon, then put in the salad with some paprika and just ate it out of a bowl.
Sounds delicious June!
What a perfect sandwich for an indecisive person!
Ahgh auto correct. I typed custard. It typed bumbing. How is that the same? Sorry
Hello! Here I was looking for a recipe that combined bread and bumping — but not a bread pudding. Ha- found your delicious chic poke cake and moseyed over to read this post. I’ve not got the bread, I have a Naan bread, and sadly, don’t have the avocado, tomato or lettuce or chives. But I live this recipe and I’m saving it for when I shop. You’re so right. Just about Aug, I’m no longer interested in long cooking sessions in the kitchen!. I’ll try this minus the chives.. what say you for Vidalia onion? And maybe add a wee bit of skinned lemon cucumbers from the garden for crunch. I rarely eat bacon but I might for this recipe!!! May I share this on my Facebook wall? Thank you!
