The most flavorful Egg Salad with Dill, Avocado and capers. Make this into a sandwich, a wrap or serve over a bed of greens for hearty low-carb meal. Also very tasty on bruschetta, served as an appetizer. Keto-Friendly!
Hope everyone had a delicious holiday weekend and your week is off to a great start. This Green Goddess Egg Salad could help, especially if you still have a fridge full of Easter Eggs. It’s an easy recipe, quite basic actually, with a few little extras, of course… like capers, lots and lots of fresh dill, and diced avocado.
For the base, you could try using yogurt for something new and healthy and different, although truthfully, I still prefer a bit of mayo. So a blend is always an option.
This Egg Salad recipe is great in a sandwich, but it can also be served as an appetizer on bruschetta or even spooned onto endive. You can stuff it into a tortilla with sprouts and make a wrap, or just pile a cup full over dressed greens with radish, tomato, sprouts or microgreens to boost the nutrition factor.
If you are craving this egg salad, but happen to be vegan, you may enjoy this vegan chickpea version.…just as satisfying.
Capers give this egg salad recipe that extra special quality. You could also sub finely chopped pickle if you prefer.
But what brings this recipe for egg salad to the next level is the fresh dill! So tasty!
Use fresh herbs: dill, cilantro, tarragon, basil, Italian parsley, or a blend.
Add diced avocado.
Layer up your sandwich.
Eat this open-faced with microgreens, or put the lid on it.
Or serve as an appetizer on bruschetta or even endive if going low-carb!
It’s crazy how fast these little guys disappear at parties we’ve catered!
People looooooooove them.
Hope you love this Egg Salad Sandwich as much as we do. I know you’ll find your favorite way to serve it up! Share in the comments below!

Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs – hard-boiled, peeled, cooled.

- 1 avocado (diced)
- 2 cups microgreens or sprouts
- sliced radishes, optional

Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise (or yogurt with a splash of olive oil)celery, green onions, fresh herbs, capers, zest and mustard.
Peel the eggs and chop finely.
Add eggs to the mayonnaise mixture and gently fold in. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the diced avocado, gently fold in (if making this ahead, leave the avocado out until serving).
Taste, adjust salt and pepper.
Refrigerate covered until using- best used the same day.

For a salad, lay a bed of mixed greens and sprouts, and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, salt and pepper. Top with a cup of egg salad, arranging tomatoes, radishes and avocado all around.

Delicious – but not a surprise as from whence it comes 🙂
I was in a rush so used chickpeas in place of the eggs. One addition was to add dill pickles chopped up and a bit of the pickle brine, which IMO gave it yet another flavor boost.
Thank you for all you do and share Sylvia – this home is very grateful!
thanks Joyce!
