We Use Avocado Mayo, Unlike traditional mayo that’s often loaded with seed oils and preservatives, avocado mayo is made with just a few simple ingredients—no canola, no soy, no hidden junk. It’s creamy, neutral in flavor, and the perfect base for a classic egg salad that feels anything but basic.

Ingredients

Optional add-ins:

• 1–2 tbsp green or red onion, finely chopped
• ¼ avocado, mashed in for extra creaminess
