Normally I’m one of the very few people on this planet that actually says, “I hate avocados.” I just kept seeing so many people loving them and loving them, so I decided to give them a try again.
When I was growing up, I actually had an avocado tree and I just never liked the taste, texture, or really anything about the suckers. But lately I just wanted to like them so much that I bought a bag. Boy oh boy, my tastes have changed or something because I really love them now! Salt and pepper alone on them makes them good enough to just eat raw.
So I was searching around for a few new ways to accommodate to an avocado-centric lifestyle and came across an avocado stuffed with egg salad. Sounded good enough to try, so I did. Added a few spins of my own and this was the end product. A delightfully delicious and fresh lunch that is super quick to make and super easy to eat.
If you’re wondering how to get great eggs when you boil them (trust me, I used to be the best at ripping off half the whites by the time I was finished peeling them) then check out my post on How to Boil Eggs. I’ve never had a badly peeled egg since I started using this method!
Hope you guys enjoy!
Yields 6 servings of Egg Salad Stuffed Avocado
The Preparation
- 6 large hard-boiled egg
- 1/3 medium red onion
- 120 grams celery
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 medium avocado
The Execution
1. This recipe is super fast and simple. You’ll have to have pre-made hard boiled eggs, though. If you need help making them, take a look at the article I wrote on how to make hard boiled eggs.
Start by prepping the ingredients. Lay out 3 stalks celery, 1/3 red onion, and your 6 hard boiled eggs onto a cutting board.
2. Chop all of the ingredients up into bite size chunks. You can vary in size of chunks to add different textures throughout.
3. In a bowl, add all of your ingredients. The vegetables and eggs, 4 tbsp. Mayonnaise, 2 tsp. Brown Mustard, 2 tbsp. Fresh Lime Juice, 1 tsp. Hot Sauce, 1/2 tsp. Cumin and Salt and Pepper to taste.
4. Mix everything together well until it’s all combined and the ingredients are distributed well.
5. Slice open your avocados using a sharp knife. Hit the pit of the avocado using the knife and twist to remove it. If you want a cheap and pretty awesome chef’s knife, check it out on amazon. Seriously, they have everything on that site!
6. Spoon the mixture into the hole of the avocado and add a little more hot sauce. Add chives to garnish if you’d like and eat! In the photo I don’t use that much eggs salad, but I highly suggesting adding some more egg salad to it for a fast and easy lunch!

Interesting. Yesterday, I made avocado stuffed deviled eggs. Mixed avocados with the egg yolk, mayo, mustard and salt and pepper.
Sounds like those deviled eggs would be great!
Thanks for the new lunch idea. I’ll make tomorrow. Looks very good.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it – I loved it 🙂
Hi…this looks really good. How long will stuffed avocados keep in the fridge? Looking at eating 2 each day for lunch…just want to make sure the others will stay somewhat fresh. Thank you!
Carol,
The avocados will still taste pretty fresh, but they may start to turn brown on the top in the fridge just overnight. To combat this, you can lightly squeeze lime or lemon juice over the top of the avocado to help preserve the aesthetics 🙂
Thanks for your quick reply 🙂 They are absolutely delicious!
Sure thing Carol – glad you like them!
I can hardly wait to try the egg salad stuffed avocado .. I usually use the same stuffing idea but with mini shrimp …. there is something about the flavour of avocado and shrimp … so yummy and so filling.
Mini shrimp sounds like an awesome idea, too! Like an avocado mini shrimp cocktail or something like that – mmm, sounds great. Hope you like this one just as much!
I think you mean 3 sticks of celery as a stalk could have 10 or so sticks.
Woah! I think you are right…that would be way too much celery! Thank you!
What type of mayo do you use?
Sometimes I make it, sometimes store-bought. We have an article that goes through some to give you some ideas: https://www.ruled.me/the-be…
Thanks!
