EASY, DELICIOUS, NUTRITIOUS EGG SALAD SANDWICH FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
The recipe makes enough egg salad for two or three sandwiches but I never make just one batch. Instead, I double or triple the recipe. I encourage you to do the same if you and your family love egg salad. It takes only a minute longer and you will have plenty of egg salad sandwiches to go around.
Our recipe is a bit lighter in calories and fat and a little lighter tasting than a traditional egg salad made with just mayonnaise. We actually prefer it this way and I am thrilled to serve a more nutritious egg salad sandwich recipe to my family and now to share it with you.

My mother used to love egg salad sandwiches! I haven't thought about that in a really long time. I need to ask her if she still makes them for herself now that we are all grown and she would only be cooking for my dad and herself. You recipe sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love egg salad Brenda. I really like the idea of the chopped tomato, I'll have to give that a try. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of putting tomatoes in my egg salad, but this sure sounds good. After all, eggs and tomatoes do go well together. Cutting down on the fat content is, of course, a great idea. Thanks for this recipe.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. Flipped it so I can find it when I need it.
