- 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small, uniform pieces. Place them in a medium bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
- Add the mashed avocado, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the chopped eggs. Mix gently.
- Stir in the chopped celery, red onion, salt, and pepper until everything is just combined. Do not overmix; you want some texture remaining.
- Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Lightly toast the bread slices.
- To assemble, place a layer of spinach on two slices of toast. Top with half of the avocado egg salad mixture on each.
- Place the remaining two slices of toast on top to form two sandwiches.
- Slice the sandwiches in half before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender on a small portion of the salad mixture.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar along with the lemon juice.
- This salad keeps well for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
