A Spring Egg and Avocado Salad Sandwich

I made this over the past weekend, as we were getting dumped with another 18" of snow.  I could have made some comfort food and cozied up on the couch next to a warm fire sipping hot cocoa - but let's face it.  With the amount of snow that we have gotten this winter so far, I felt cozied and hot cocoa'd out.  I hate to be a sour puss, but I'm really ready for spring, aren't you?  So, I wanted to make something light and spring-y.  This hit the spot.  I picked up this recipe from Martha Stewart many years ago, and it makes a regular appearance at our house for lunch.  (I did make some adjustments and my recipe follows.)  I love it that it has avocadoes in it. Unfortunately, only the adults like it (I don't know any kid that will eat egg salad sandwiches - let me know if yours do!).  Sunshine settled for her good ol' PB&J.

It was absolutely P.E.R.F.E.C.T. for a wintery snowed in day.  It certainly had me dreaming of sitting on my deck with my favorite book, or watching my kids run through sprinklers on hot summer days.
