AvoEgg Salad Flatout | LowCarb Recipe

So as I kinda posted about earlier this week, I wanted to challenge myself to finding "healthy" recipes and making them even more clean and healthy. Up first, is a recipe from Gina over at SkinnyTaste. We're talking about yummy Avocado Egg Salad here folks!

While the original recipe is far healthier than traditional egg salad which is loaded up with mayo, I really want to spend this year focusing on cleaner eating and acquiring new taste buds. I also love things that are super simple and have minimal ingredient lists. So that's exactly what I did my adapted version of the AvoEgg Salad.

By the way, when you look at the nutritional values, do NOT be scared of the fat content. Avocados are extremely high in fat, but, its the GOOD fat. Yes, there is such a thing ;)



Serves 1 (if you want to serve more, simply multiply by number of people being served.

Optional add ins: 
-onion (red, yellow, white, green, whatever you please)
-garlic powder
-salt / pepper to taste

Directions:
-Place spicy mustard, 1/2 avocado and 2 eggs in bowl and mash together. I use a pretty sweet "potato masher" that works amazing (especially if they eggs are freshly hard boiled vs out of the fridge).
-Toss in celery (and other optional add ins!) and mix with a fork.
-Toss in a pita pocket, tortilla wrap, flat out, whatever, and then ENJOY!

Let me know what you guys think!
