EGG SALAD WITH AVOCADO DRESSING







EGG SALAD WITH AVOCADO DRESSING

Avocado dressing and egg salad is one of my favorite ways of making a healthy egg salad.  It is also a great way to use up an avocado that has become too ripe to serve in the normal manner. Blend the avocado in this tasty dressing and no one will be any the wiser!  Delicious!


7 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped avocado, optional (125 mL)
4 slices bacon, cooked, chopped
2 tsp chopped, fresh cilantro, OR (10 mL)

1/2 tsp black pepper (2 mL)
