Key Ingredient in This Recipe

You’ll find the complete list of ingredients and exact quantities in the recipe below.

For the salad
- Avocado
- Hard boiled eggs
- Cottage Cheese
- Radishes
- Tarragon – fresh tarragon is preferred, but dried will do the trick as well. Tarragon pairs really well with eggs, but parsley and dill will also work.
For the sandwich
- Whole wheat bread – it goes without saying that you an use any bread you prefer. I prefer whole wheat bread, or even better whole wheat whole grain bread, it add flavor and texture to your sandwich.
- Lettuce – any type of green lettuce will do, or spinach and/or arugula.

How to Make Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich

Step 1 – Make the Avocado Egg Salad by mixing chopped hard boiled eggs, avocado, cottage cheese, finely chopped radishes, tarragon and salt & pepper to taste.

The texture of this salad is up to you, as you can chop the boiled eggs and the avocado coarsely or fine. Personally, I prefer to cut is coarse, otherwise it easily become an avocado egg spread. The finely chopped radishes take care of the crunch and just a little bit of color.

Step 2 – Prepare the sandwich:

Toast or grill the bread slices until crunchy.
Place lettuce leaves on both sandwich halves.
Place cucumber slices on lettuce (both sides again).

2 wooden planks, each with 2 slices of toast. One with just lettuce the other one with lettuce and cucumber slices.

Step 3 – Finalize sandwich:

Spread avocado egg salad over one side of the sandwich.
Place the other half of the sandwich on top of the salad.
Cut in half and you have an Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich.
Repeat this for the second sandwich.

This sandwich offers a combination of flavors, colors and texture. Serve the sandwich as breakfast or lunch. You can make the avocado egg salad in advance, but I would suggest you wait with assembling it until you’re ready to eat. Assembling the sandwich too long ahead of time may result in the bread becoming soggy. The crunch will be less apparent and the whole sandwich may fall apart when you bit into it.

Add red onion, chives or green onions/scallions.
Add celery for some extra crunch.
