Avocados not only taste great, but are one of the only fruits that contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.  They help lower bad cholesterol, elevate good cholesterol and can be used in place of butter in your favorite recipes to cut back on saturated fats. Today I am sharing a yummy, quick and easy recipe for avocado egg salad.  Serve up something a little different  at your next get together.  The potato salad won’t be missed!
