As the weather warms it’s nice to have lighter food, and meals that are quick to prepare so you can spend more time in the newly expanded daylight period. If you celebrate Easter chances are good that you’ll have some hard-boiled eggs on hand.

 

Use them to quickly whip up this tasty, tangy egg salad for a nutritious meal:

 

Easy Egg Salad

 

Ingredients

 

·      6 Shelled, Hard-boiled Eggs, chopped

·      1 Celery Stalk, chopped

·      1 Scallion, chopped

·      1/2 tsp Prepared Horseradish

·      1 tsp Garlic Paste, Garlic Powder, or Garlic Juice

·      1/2 C Mayonnaise

 

 

Procedure

 

·      Blend all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.

·      Spread on bread and serve as sandwiches, or place in the center of an avocado or tomato half.

 

 

If you serve your sandwiches on bread, add some fresh spinach leaves or romaine lettuce and tomatoes to make it a one-dish meal. Make the sandwiches double- or triple-decker to satisfy big appetites.

 

Or serve them in cucumber scoops or avocadoes to use more veggies and avoid bread.
