Loaded Hippy Egg Salad: Make It Your Way!

In this version, I used eggs, avocado, Greek yogurt, Hippy All-Purpose Seasoning, relish, red onion, salt + pepper, garlic pwder, Everything Bagel seasoning and a splash of lemon.

If you love egg salad but like switching up the flavors and ingredients depending on your mood, this one’s for you.

Around here, egg salad is less of a strict recipe and more of a customizable base you can make your own every single time.

There are so many different ways to make egg salad — kind of like potato salad — and honestly, I’ve made countless versions over the years. Some days I want it tangy and loaded with pickles and mustard, other days I go for creamy with avocado, dill, or Everything Bagel seasoning. There’s really no wrong way to make it.

It’s also incredibly versatile when it comes to serving:

• Scoop it with crackers or veggies

• Pile it onto toast or a rice cake

• Make a sandwich or wrap

• Serve it over lettuce

• Or bulk it up with diced chicken for extra protein

And if you meal prep, this is one of the easiest things to keep stocked in the fridge for quick lunches, snacks, or easy high-protein meals throughout the week.

I always start with the same simple base: hard-boiled eggs, avocado, and Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, then build from there depending on what sounds good.

BASE INGREDIENTS:

• 2–3 hard-boiled eggs (or more for a larger batch)

• ½ avocado (or whole avocado for larger batches)

• ½–1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Splash of lemon juice

Hard-boiled eggs are one of the best foods you can eat, such as making a custom egg salad for meals and snacks.
