Happy 2019, everyone! Before we jump into this healthy avocado egg salad with no mayo or dairy, I want to talk about one of my resolutions. In years past, I might have made a resolution to lose 10 pounds, improve my running time or something else that made me “feel good” about myself. These resolutions did the absolute opposite. It perpetuated self-loathing and decreased my self-esteem.

As time went on, I met people and family that make me feel my best and learned that restricting myself of certain foods or labeling foods as “good” or “bad” just led me wanting them more. It wasn’t until I learned about intuitive eating and took a class in college about the culture and emotions behind food that I really "got over" restrictive eating. Since then my New Year's resolutions do not consist of my vanity, but instead focus on hobbies and things that bring my joy.

Now, back to this Healthy Avocado Egg Salad…

Now, I’ve never been a fan of miracle whip or Helman’s. To be honest, condiments kind of freak me out in general. I don’t know what it is, but mustard should not be that yellow and ketchup was never something I used. So, as you could have guessed I never really liked egg salad growing up. But I do REALLY LOVE eggs and how quick they are to prepare, not to mention, a complete protein. For this healthy avocado egg salad I used half of the egg yolks and did not use mayo or dairy.

How can you make an egg salad without mayo?

Avocado: They lend such a creamy, fatty component to this healthy avocado egg salad. It won’t make you miss the mayo!

Tomatoes: Gives it a bright burst of flavor and pairs well with the dill, red onion and capers.

Red onion: I love a good bite of an onion. You can omit if you don’t like!

Fresh dill: Gives this healthy avocado egg salad a fresh herby flavor.
