Avocado Egg Salad Sandwiches

I first found this idea on Livestrong.com and then went after an actual recipe to adapt to our family.  It was delicious and really quite healthy!

Avocado Egg Salad Sandwiches 
(Adapted from Allrecipes.com)

4 large hard boiled eggs (I did mine the night before so they had plenty of time to chill)
1 RIPE medium Hass avocado
Yellow mustard
Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
1-2 Tbsp. pickle relish
4 slices of whole wheat bread

Peel your eggs and place them in a mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter, or a knife and fork, chop up your eggs to your desired consistency. In a separate bowl, mash up your avocado. You want it really mushy--this is taking the place of the usual mayonnaise! Add about a teaspoon of prepared yellow mustard, and a sprinkling of paprika (as much as you'd like!). Mix this into the eggs. Then add the pickle relish and salt & pepper to taste.

Use whole wheat bread to make your yummy sandwiches and you are set for a healthy summer-y meal!
