Tips & Warnings
  • Once you've made this egg salad once, feel free to play around with the proportions and with the types of onion and avocado to best suit the dish to your taste.
  • This egg salad is great on bread or crackers.
  • Be careful not to put in too much lemon juice or it will overwhelm the rather delicate flavor of this dish. Make sure the onion is diced very finely, and don't put in too much or it too may overwhelm the taste of the egg and avocado.
