Joe sandwiches can use avocado instead of mayonnaise too

 

Shout out to the mighty avocado! Here are just a few of the things that make it so awesome:

-More potassium than a banana

-Lowers cholesterol

-Helps relieve joint pain from arthritis

-Good source of fiber

One great healthy take away I got from my trip to Nicaragua was using avocado in place of mayo.  A great recipe I have been using lately is Nicaraguan Egg Salad. It may have a different name, but my Spanish is very shaky so this is what I’m calling it.

Nicaraguan Egg Salad

Combine together in a large bowl:

-6 diced hard boiled eggs

-2 diced avocados

-2 diced roma tomatoes

-1/2 diced onion

-Handful of jalapeños

Sprinkle the whole mixture with lime juice Then add garlic salt and pepper to taste.   Really simple to make, tastes great, and is a healthy alternative to regular egg salad.

Get creative and think of ways you can use avocados in place of mayo. It is a much healthier option and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how good it tastes.
