I love egg salad and it’s one of those things you can make ahead and just pull out of the refrigerator to eat for lunch or even dinner, it also makes a great snack. The problem with egg salad is the ton of calories that come along with using mayo. That is why I created this skinny recipe for delicious Avocado And Chorizo Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps. To make this more nutritious, I substituted the mayo for avocados and yogurt and gave it some sabor Latino by adding crumbled chorizo. The avocados really give this egg salad a fresh and delicious twist and they are so much better for you than the mayo.
