Using avocado in place of the mayo in egg salad.  It's been done before.  And it's really not that complicated.  Healthy fats, improved taste, what's not to love?
But I have a great little trick that goes with it, passed down from my grandmother.
Do you hate hard-boiling/peeling eggs? It's the guessing game, right? Is it done? Is it overcooked?  Yes, I know, there are tips and tricks out the wazoo (look up hard-boiled egg on Pinterest).  But it's still sort of a shot in the dark, right?  And then, and then, you have to peel them.  Ugh.
Well fret no more.  If you need chopped hard-boiled eggs for a recipe, you are not going to actually hard-boil them.  You are going to poach them in a poached egg pan.  Like in this one on Amazon.  
No mess, no fuss.
You're welcome.
