Avocado Egg Salad with Cottage Cheese

Avocado Egg Salad with Cottage Cheese has eggs, avocado, cottage cheese, celery, green onions, and the perfect lemony dressing. And this is a delicious version of egg salad that’s low in carbs and high in protein!

For a long time I wasn’t a big fan of egg salad. But as soon as I took one bite of this Avocado Egg Salad with Cottage Cheese, I could tell it was something I was going to make over and over. I do think it’s partly the flavors in my lemony dressing that made this fun egg salad with avocado such a wow for me, and if you’re an egg salad fan and like avocados and cottage cheese, I bet you’re going to love it too!
