Recipe Notes

Yes, you can eat egg salad. The variations I will leave up to you. My brother loves Heinz India Relish and I like capers.

I have made this recipe with reduced-fat mayonnaise, and it is a little more traditional, but the avocado is rich, creamy and full of great monounsaturated fats.

"I suppose there are people who can pass up free guacamole, but they're either allergic to avocado or too joyless to live."
