There are so many ways to create a tasty egg salad. There is
no one way to prepare it. This makes it a very versatile dish that can be eaten
any time of year and for whatever mood you are in. And now that we know eggs
are no longer “bad” for us, creating a meal with eggs can not only be easy
but also economical. I also love that it can be prepared ahead of time and
pulled out of the refrigerator when you don’t feel like cooking, when you need
a meal that accommodates a flexible schedule, and that makes for a quick clean
up.
Egg salad can be eaten with crackers, as a sandwich with
alfalfa sprouts and avocado or on a bed of lettuce. One of my favorite ways to
eat egg salad is to slice a tomato in 6ths, from top to bottom, without cutting
all the way through the base, so the tomato opens like a flower. Then I put my
½ cup of egg salad in the middle, surround it with baby spinach and sprinkle
the top with a pinch of paprika. It looks so appealing and takes no time at all
to prepare. It makes for a very
satisfying meal both visually and physically.
Below is a new recipe that is bright, light and feels like
summer.
