- 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 1 ripe avocado, medium size
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach leaves
- Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and place them in a medium bowl.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the eggs.
- Add the Dijon mustard and lemon juice to the bowl.
- Use a fork to mash the avocado and mix all ingredients together until you reach your desired consistency. Aim for creamy with some visible egg chunks.
- Stir in the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Place the spinach leaves on one slice of bread.
- Spoon the avocado egg salad mixture evenly over the spinach.
- Top with the second slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
Notes
- For a lower-carb option, serve the salad in lettuce cups instead of bread.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend half of the avocado mixture before folding it back into the chunky half.
- Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped red onion or chives for extra flavor.
