Notes
- Mash the avocado to your liking. You can make it completely creamy or leave a few chunks for added texture.
- Chop everything small. I recommend cutting the tomatoes in half, then chopping the bacon, scallions, and any other add-ins you decide to use into pretty small pieces. This ensures that you get a little bit of every flavor in each bite!
- Customize! Like any egg salad, this avocado egg salad can be customized with any of your favorite add-ins. Try it with diced celery or red onion, nuts or seeds, capers, diced cucumber, you name it.
