Simple and delicious! I used an oat and bran bread and chose not to toast it as a personal preference, otherwise made as written with the exception of skipping the extra mayo on the bread before assembling. It's a wonderful take on an egg salad sandwich with a delicious combination of flavors that compliment each other well. Thank you for sharing this keeper! :) -
I made the egg salad last night, (a lovely blend of flavours) then I halved the recipe and added the egg salad and avocado to fresh rolls, untoasted. This made for a very quick-to-prepare lunch two for today. Love anything with avocado, and this was really delicious. I’ll be making this (in a roll) for take-to-work lunches during the summer. Thanks for sharing!

anyone thought of maybe mashing the avacado and mixing it with the egg, mustard and mayo? Just a thought, I know how slippery avacado can be in a sandwich. lol

this recipe left me largely indifferent. maybe it was for lack of an avocado or freshly ground pepper (i did use regular ground pepper) ... not sure what it was, but it was kind of bland even despite the dijon & lemon.
