I love egg salad and have tried many variations, but I created one yesterday that has become one of my new favorites. I could easily eat it every week! We had such a busy and fun-filled weekend, that my kids did not color eggs until Easter night. There were a lot of eggs, so I made an incredibly tasty Jalapeno, Caper, and Avocado Egg Salad using some of the leftover hard boiled eggs and a lot of super yummy ingredients that I already had at home. I ate the egg salad on top of large slices of tomato and I loved the combination. It was great having some crunch and salt in each bite! I enjoyed the salad as a lunch, but it would also work great as a side dish and at any party, especially in the spring and summer.
