Hey y’all!
I’m a huge huge huge sucker for potato egg salads with LOTS of mayo! My mom has been making it in huge portions for us since we were little so naturally, I’m obsessed with it even as a grown adult! I took the recipe from her in college and realized how much mayo was in each batch! Somewhere along the way, I grew up and my stomach did too and couldn’t handle so much mayo at once especially mixed with eggs and potatoes because I BLOAT MCGLOATS! Like a balloon. But really. I’ve been craving Mama Yen’s potato egg salad lately and figured I would give it a try to make my own healthier recipe and I was happy with the results! Very very simple recipe including 3 major things- 1. Avocado 2. Eggs 3. Lemon/lime! Voila! You’ve got yourself a mayo free egg salad! This can easily be turned into a sandwich or dip too! Be creative with it, have fun, and let me know how you like it!
