Questions

Is Avocado Egg Salad vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan salad collection.

Does Avocado Egg Salad contain peanuts?

Yes: 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped. The full allergen list for this entry is eggs and peanuts. Where the peanuts are a garnish, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds give the same crunch. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How many calories are in Avocado Egg Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 260 calories, with 7 g protein, 9 g carbohydrate and 23 g fat, plus 5 g fiber and 320 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How do I store and reheat Avocado Egg Salad?

Water seeps out of the tomatoes as the salad sits, so keep the dressing apart and toss Avocado Egg Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. Store the peanuts at room temperature so it stays crisp. It does not freeze.

Can I halve or double Avocado Egg Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Halved, the lime juice drops from 2 tbsp to 1 tbsp; doubled, it is 1/4 cup. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
