After Easter, many homes are being overrun with hard-boiled eggs. Whether they are used as centerpieces or other decorating objects or the kids had great success hunting Easter eggs, you may find yourself searching for a creative way to use hard-boiled eggs.
An old favorite after-Easter treat is Egg Salad, and it’s difficult to top Egg Salad on a sandwich. There are many ways to prepare Egg Salad, and the recipe below uses light mayonnaise and low-fat sour cream in an attempt to make the popular sandwich filling a little more healthy.
There are differing opinions on whether eggs are healthy, but most agree that, used in moderation, eggs are a good source of protein.
This recipe uses some tasty ingredients to spice up the old recipe a little.
Try it on a toasted whole-grain wheat roll with tomatoes and lettuce. It’s really, really good.
