What if I told you that you could have a salad for lunch or dinner without having any actual lettuce in your bowl? Because in our house, sometimes salad recipes vary and mean something totally different than what you think.

And in my book, having options for salads is always a good thing. I love feeding the family a fun meal that you can easily eat on its own, as a sandwich, or even as a fun dip for crackers and chips.

Of course, I love the classic chicken salad, and I really love this light and healthy chicken salad with apples. But if you’re looking for something a little different, you’re going to love this avocado salad recipe!

AVOCADO SALAD FAQS

How do you keep avocado from turning brown?

If you’re worried about your avocado salad changing color, you shouldn’t have to worry with this recipe. Just make certain that you’re adding in the lemon juice as that should keep your avocado from turning brown.

What else can you add into this avocado salad recipe?

It’s really up to you, but you can add in other items if you want. Chopped onion and even chopped up fresh jalapeños would be a great addition that would add a super fun flavor and taste.

What happens if my avocado mashes up when mixing?

Don’t worry, even if you’re using an overripe avocado and it gets a bit mushy when mixing together with your egg, it’s still perfectly fine to eat and use as a salad. It’ll just be a little more spreadable and creamy rather than in chunks. It will still taste awesome!
