I have a quick and delicious recipe for you today. I decided to take boring, old egg salad and jazz it up a little bit. If you like to look at food on Pinterest like I do, you have probably seen some recipes for egg salad with avocado, which has always sounded completely delicious to me!
I decided to take it one step better and include bacon, because nearly everything is better with bacon! Just look at Pinterest for example - most good things are made better if bacon is included. Either that, or salted caramel, but I just couldn't see egg salad and salted caramel mixing well together... yuck.
This recipe is super simple, especially if you have boiled eggs already prepared in your fridge, like I usually do ( see my Weekly Food Prep post). Mix chopped egg, crunchy celery, creamy avocado, and tart dill pickle with yogurt, mayo, mustard, spices, and lemon juice. Wrap it all in a big lettuce leaf, with a finishing touch of crumbled bacon and a dash of dill. It makes a fantastic lunch on a hot summer day!
