This avocado egg salad BLT is the perfect springtime sandwich. Hard-boiled eggs and creamy avocado pilled high on a croissant with bacon, lettuce, and tomato.
Every single time I tell my dad I’m eating egg salad he goes on about how he can’t stand the stuff.
To be fair he hates all types of mayo salad – tuna salad, chicken salad, ham salad…he hates them all.
Me? I could eat my weight in any of those!
They are quick to throw together, last a few days in the fridge (which means I can make them in bulk!), and taste pretty damn good.
Who’s with me?
Since I had a ton of leftover hard boiled eggs from Easter.
Ok. This is a lie. I had to make hard boiled eggs for this post.
True confession time – I have never ever dyed Easter eggs.
We never did that as a kid and now that I’m an adult I feel like the moment has passed. Plus I can’t be the weirdo adult trying egg dying for the first time at 33 years old.
It’s like that time I tried carving my first pumpkin at 28 – it was messy and gross and felt as though maybe I was just too old.
I know. I never carved pumpkins either.
Or dressed up and trick or treating for Halloween.
Or was allowed to believe in Santa.
Basically, my childhood was just me being jealous of every other child in the neighborhood.
So because most of you probably had normal childhoods that involved dying Easter eggs I assume you have lots of hard boiled eggs just sitting around waiting to be used.
That’s where this recipe comes in handy. Not only is it egg salad but it’s avocado egg salad! Hello, delicious!
This baby is super creamy and uses even less mayo than the traditional stuff because avocado is pretty darn creamy on its own.
Then I put it on a butter croissant and topped it with baby mixed greens, sliced tomato, and super crispy bacon.
This sandwich screams spring and is the perfect lunch or dinner treat!

I've never dyed eggs either, so I feel you girl! I swear I'll do it next year, even though I may look like a fool doing it.
Avocado egg salad...sounds SO good. You have a good trifecta sandwich going here with the croissant, bacon, and avocado egg salad!

we didn't color eggs this year, which is strange because we have SO many eggs - but I'll hard boil a few just to make this blt!
