Tips:
- Boil the eggs in advance: Boil the eggs ahead of time and let them cool completely before making the salad. This will save you time and make it easier to peel and chop the eggs.
- Mash avocado just before use: To prevent the avocado from browning, mash it just before you mix it with the other ingredients.
- Use fresh chives: Fresh chives add a lovely mild onion flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh chives, you can substitute with a small amount of finely chopped green onion.
- Toast the bread: For added texture and flavor, lightly toast the multi-grain bread slices before assembling the sandwiches.
- Customize your sandwich: Feel free to add other ingredients like lettuce, tomato, or red onion slices to give the sandwich extra flavor and crunch.
This delicious Smoked Salmon and Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich with Cucumber is a fantastic way to enjoy a nutritious and flavorful meal.
