Replace mayonnaise with avocado for a healthier creamy potato salad full of avocado nutrients and healthy fats.
I love avocado and I recently had avocado potato salad for the first time (in Japan of all places). I really enjoyed it and knew I had to make it when I came home.
I like that it gives the whole salad a light green color. Avocado is so creamy too that I didn’t miss the mayonnaise at all.
I you love avocado you might like my Avocado Egg Salad Sandwiches, too!
Avocado Potato Salad

- 3 large avocados
- 1 small persian or kirby cucumber chopped into small 1/4 inch cubes
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
- juice of 1/2 a lime
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add potatoes to a large pot and fill pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring water to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Slice avocados in half and remove pits. Cut avocado into 1/2 inch cubes.
- Once potatoes are done, allow them to cool. Then cut them into 1/2 inch cubes.

Mix everything with a large spoon, until avocado is mostly mashed and covering potatoes. If needed, add more salt and pepper and mix until it reaches desired taste preference.
