FAQs About Our Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich

What is the difference between beefsteak tomatoes and other varieties?

When it comes to tomatoes, there are many different types that can be used for various purposes. However, when it comes to beefsteak tomatoes, there is a clear difference between them and other types of tomatoes.

For starters, beefsteak tomatoes are much larger than your average tomato. In fact, they can weigh up to two pounds! They also have a lower water content, which makes them perfect for slicing and using in sandwiches and burgers.

How long will my avocado egg salad last in the fridge?

When making up your avocado egg salad, there’s only one question that really matters: how long will it last in the fridge?

The answer, unfortunately, is not as straightforward as you might hope. It all depends on how you make your salad, and how carefully you store it.

If you’re using fresh ingredients and storing your salad in an airtight container, it should last for 3-4 days in the fridge. But if you’re using pre-made ingredients or storing it in a less than ideal container, your salad might only last for 1-2 days.

So if you’re planning on eating your avocado egg salad all week long, be sure to use fresh ingredients and store it properly. Otherwise, enjoy it while it lasts!
