Mashed Avocado Egg Salad

24 Carrot Life’s simple mashed avocado egg salad makes an excellent sandwich for two on those days when you’ve got too many plans to really cook. The marriage of creamy avocado and mashed eggs is spiced up with zesty lemon and dijon mustard so chances are you won’t miss the mayonnaise!
