Can I make avocado egg salad ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare it a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge and add a squeeze of lemon juice to help keep the color fresh.

What’s the best way to prevent the avocado from turning brown?

A little acid does the trick! Tossing the diced avocado with lemon or lime juice right away helps slow down oxidation and keeps it looking bright green.

Are there alternatives to mayonnaise in these recipes?

Absolutely! You can use plain Greek yogurt, mashed ripe avocado, or even a bit of hummus for a creamy, healthier twist without mayo.

How long will boiled eggs last in the fridge?

Hard-boiled eggs (with the shell on) will stay good for up to a week when stored properly in the refrigerator.
