This avocado egg salad uses half the yolks and lots of healthy fats from the avocado. You can serve this as a wrap, on whole-grain toast or in a lettuce cup.
Avocado Egg Salad
Sometimes I even like to make this for my avocado egg salad with salmon sandwich. More quick and easy egg salads I love to make are guacamole deviled eggs and chickpea egg salad.
I tried a Flat-Out for the first time after hearing your positive reviews about it and loved how easy it was to create a wrap. It tasted great too! If you’re on a gluten free diet or looking to use less calories this is also wonderful in a lettuce wrap or why not a hollowed out tomato!

How do you make the “wrap” ?
We love it on toast in the morning, or an egg salad sandwich for lunch, or on Triscuits as a light snack.
I’m not a big fan of egg salad because I try to avoid mayo as much as possible. This was by far the best egg salad I’ve had- the addition of the greek yogurt and avacado make it just perfect and much more guilt-less! This will become a regular in my meal plans.
this is great my 2 fav things but omg to salty
How long does it last in the refrigerator?
After a full day in the fridge, it looks as though it may need to be finished by tomorrow. I did use an extremely ripe avacado though. I wonder if you could add some lemon juice to extend the life of this?
I was in a hurry, so used 1 avocado and 1 hard boiled egg. A little dijon mustard, garlic salt and lemon juice! Still delicious! Thanks for the idea.
This was awesome. Everyone in my house loved it. We will be making it a lot in the future.
Absolutely wonderful
How does this hold up while being refrigerated? Does it brown quickly, as avocado does?

I love avocado and thought this was a good twist on egg salad. Told the family what I was going to make and of course the noses turned up. Well I made it tonight and had my husband taste it for salt and guess who liked it. Then I tried it and it was awesome. Letting it chill and will take some for lunch tomorrow and share with a coworker. Thanks for sharing. WP
LOL awesome!
Hi Gina,
Without modifying the amounts I answered this in my weight watchers app tracker and for the exact same thing that you list here I get 8 smart points.????????????
Are you using the recipe builder? The only accurate way to determine any recipe’s SmartPoints® value is to plug the ingredients into the recipe builder on the Weight Watchers website (Click on “My Foods,” select “Recipe,” and click “Create a recipe.”) which does not count fruits and vegetables in recipes in the calculations as they are now 0 points.
The SmartPoints® calculator isn’t meant for recipes and will often give you the wrong points (usually higher) because it’s counting the fruits and vegetables. So if you see a recipe with a SmartPoints® value that’s different from what the calculator tells you, now you know why.

Is this 4 yolks and 8 Whites?
Can you please tell me how long you can refrigerate any leftovers? Also, are you using a total of eight egg whites and four egg yolks? Thanks!
Correct, I’m not sure how long.
If you like Flat Out wraps….try the Ole’ brand a Extreme Wellness tortillas. They have an 8 inch spinach and herb one that has a fabulous texture and taste and is only 1 Smartpoint!

Avocados are my favorite food and make almost anything taste better.
An awesome recipe. I have always been a fan of egg recipes and this one sounds really interesting. I am going to cook it soon.
We had this for dinner tonight. The fam found it a little bland. They thought a little onion and tomato would make it perfect. I served in sundried tomato wraps with roasted red pepper and tomato soup. The soup was a perfect compliment to the wraps.
I made this today. I used lemon juice instead of vinegar, as I prefer the lightness of the citrus. It was excellent. Thank you for sharing.
I made this and ate it with Almond Nut Thins. It was awesome! I just subbed in champagne vinegar and use 2 tbsp olive oil mayo since I didn't have any yougurt on hand.
Quick question, just joined WW, it has avocados listed at 8 or 9 points by themselves and this is listed at 4+. Did I miss something? This looks so good I could eat it by the spoonful!!!
What is with light flat out? For 7 points?
you have the egg listed backwords.. you discard half the yolk.. not the egg whites
I don't like mayo. Could you substitute greek yogurt?
Why do you have to seperate the egg yolks from the whites
because you are discarding half the yolk for healthy version. (its listed wrong, you are suppose to discard half yolk not the whites) yolk has all the fat.
