Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. Since the new year, I have been really focusing on upping the amount of protein in my diet. As a vegetarian, that can be challenging! A girl can only eat so many beans right? Eating Hard boiled Eggs is one of my favorite high protein snacks. Sure plain hard boiled eggs are good but this Southwestern Avocado Egg Salad is going to be one of your new favorites. Thanks to Great Day Farms for sponsoring this post. All opinions and recipes are my own.
Southwestern Avocado Egg Salad
I am first to admit that making the perfect hard boiled egg can be challenging and time consuming. I found these perfectly cooked and peeled, ready to eat Great Day Farms eggs at my Walmart deli. Yes they are perfectly delish their own for snacking but sometimes I am looking for a full high protein meal. Enter my Southwester Avocado Egg Salad.
This is not your grandma’s egg salad! I’ve loaded up this meal with some of my favorite southwestern flavors. Hard Boiled Eggs are married with red peppers, avocado, tomato, cilantro and chili powder and a little chipotle mayo to create this satisfying meal. The combination of textures and flavors blends scrumptiously to deliver a protein packed Southwestern Avocado Egg Salad.
It’s just perfect on it’s own for a snack or on top a green salad. My favorite way to enjoy it, however, is in a sandwich. Some days you just want a heartier more satisfying lunch and this Southwestern Avocado Egg Salad hits the spot. If you love eggs and you love guacamole, this is the perfect hybrid for you.
Next time you are in Walmart, grab a few packs of Great Day Farms Ready to Eat eggs. Easy, healthy and delicious-you can’t go wrong. #EggceptionallyGreat

I really do need to get these. I love hardboiled eggs, but for some reason, boiling water seems like SO much effort. Love this recipe – chipotle mayo sounds amazing!
It is so easy to buy the premade eggs and then it takes just seconds to whip up a great snack
What a delicious way to use hardboiled eggs! Thinking of you, btw! <3 <3
Thanks so much on both. I needed to get back to doing some normal things today
What a great, quick meal. Hard boiled eggs are just so convenient!
They sure are! Super easy
YUM! I am all about avocado right now and eggs are a huge staple in my diet!
I love the avocado and egg combo too thanks
Looks like a delicious egg salad! And a great way get added protein, which I am all about lately.
Thanks yes me too. It is challenging to get enough protein as a vegetarian so I am working on it
I love egg salad and now I know what I’m having for lunch!
Oh thanks! It is so easy hope you enjoy
I love southwestern food. This looks delicious! I’ll have to make it if I have leftover avocado after dinner tonight.
I love the spicy flavors with the eggs too hope you enjoy
I love hard boiled eggs on my salad…and I love the boost of protein!
I put them in salad too for extra veggie protein and it’s fun to mix in the spicy flavors
This sounds great! I like egg salad if it doesn’t have too much mayo. The avocado is a great addition.
It’s kind of my new thing I have been experimenting w different combos.Sometimes I use mustard. I have also been adding a little more fat into my diet which is helping
Oh, I love the addition of cucumber in this too – just a little crunch and coolness makes all the difference 😉
Yes! I am all about mixing different textures together
I don’t eat nearly enough hard-boiled eggs but I know its a great way to get in protein. Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks! That will be part of my info to you once I have the chance to get back to you on all of that. I also like to put hummus inside of HB eggs for a protein packed snack
I love egg salad and southwestern flavors are probably me favorite. I like it on a sandwich, over greens, on crackers, any way.
It’s kind of my new thing so many ways to enjoy it!
This southwestern twist is such a great idea, can’t believe I never thought of it! This is going to change all those boring egg salad sandwiches after Easter (or any day).
Happy Meatless Monday!
ha ha yes indeed! I love spicy flavors in everything
This has so many of the things that I love in it!! <3 Can't wait to try it out! It'd be perfect for a mid-day snack/meal! <3
Thanks! It’s kind of my new obsession and I am looking for fun ways to mix it up
This this twist on egg salad and how easy are those already boiled eggs! So good!
The easiest!
The vegetable base of this sounds good – especially the avocado
I am all about the avocado in everything!
I used to love hard boiled eggs in the old days. These look delicious and convenient!
Yes they are a big protein source for me!
Love these flavors! I think I could eat an avocado with every meal!
I sometimes do!
I rarely eat egg salad, not sure why, I just don’t think to make it I guess, but this looks delicious. What a nice twist!
I really just recently got into again and I am loving it
I love any kind of salad. This looks delicious!!
It is a nice change of pace for lunch
Your egg salad sounds great! As crazy as I get in some of my recipes, I usually just do egg salad with good quailty dijon and mayo on the best whole wheat bread. It’s the best!
I usually use mustard as well but wanted to mix it up a bit!
I love egg salad, but I love this new take on it by adding avocado! Genius!
Avocado makes everything better doesn’t it?!
Avocados and eggs make for the best combination! This sounds like such a good recipe!!!

Thanks! It is fun to mix it up with the flavors and textures
This looks delicious, I think my family would love this. I love seeing Meatless Monday recipes.
Thanks! I agree Meatless Mondays are the best and not too hard to incorporate into a diet
If egg salad is wrong, I don’t want to be right!
ha ha I’m with you!

It could not be easier!
I would totally eat this with a spoon…. a very big spoon! hehe Looks BOMB!
Ah Thanks! I think I am going to make it again this week
This is my kind of sandwich! YUM!
I am glad you approve! Thanks
Mmmmm. A Southwestern twist on egg salad is genius. I need to try this.
Thanks! I love the different textures and flavors together
This looks SO YUMMY! I’ve been on a southwest kick lately, so this is calling my name haha. And I love that it’s full of veggies too! Eggs are definitely one of my go-to protein sources. I can’t wait to try this!

This looks delicious and easy to make! I think I will give it a shot this week.
Oh great I hope you enjoy it too
This sounds so good! I’m definitely going to have to try it.
Thanks hope you enjoy it too
I wish I had time to make this today before work. I’m not a big fan of deviled eggs but other than that I’ve never tried a hard boiled egg recipe I didn’t like.
Hard boiled eggs have been my go to the past few months. This is a super quick recipe hope you try it out soon
Yum! I love any kind of avocado egg combo!
Avocados make everything taste better don’t they?
This looks like one incredible sandwich! I always do avo toast with a fried egg and sriracha, but this would be a fun way to mix things up.
I think you will love all the textures and spices
Yum! This looks so delicious, I love egg salad and this is a great twist on it. I can’t wait to make it!!
Thanks so much 🙂
I’m not usually a fan of egg salad, but this sure looks delicious. It sounds like its a lot more flavorful than your usual run-of-the-mill egg salad.
Oh yes lots of textures and flavors and great protein
When I first saw the already hard boiled eggs I had to scratch my head. That seems so simple to do at home, but then I thought.. I could totally see using these while traveling and such! What a great idea!
And the salad looks delish! A great way to get the protein in for sure
Yes you can totally make your own but the premade ones are already peeled and perfectly ready to go!
I do not think you know HOW MUCH I want this right now! AVOCADO is one of my newest obsessions! Ha. And being paired with EGGS is seriously drool worthy! I am going to the kitchen now, I think I have ALL the ingredients for this one!
Fabulous hope you try it out! Enjoy 🙂
Ooooooh… I’m a sucker for avocado. Put it in anything, and I’m hooked, but this recipe looks especially delicious!
me too and thanks!
Yum! I love egg salad. I’ll have to give this a try!
I am newly obsessed with it myself 🙂
