Egg Salad Sandwich Pita Wrap with Greek Yogurt and Avocado

I love a great egg salad sandwich! This one, mixed with ripe avocado, extra virgin Greek olive oil, Greek yogurt, and herbs, and served either as a sandwich on whole grain bread or nestled in a classic pita wrap makes for an easy breakfast, brunch, lunch or quick dinner option, a brown-bag gem, and a perfect way to use leftover hard boiled eggs. Egg salads are a deli classic but this one ups the ante by uniting an American classic with Mediterranean diet ingredients! Enjoy.
