Egg salad recipes are quick and easy. Here are two tasty egg salads that can be used for lunch or dinner.
It's important to eat a healthy salad at least once every day. There are many different kinds of salads to enjoy.
If you are eating salad as a main meal, ensure that your salad has sufficient protein.
The first of the two egg salad recipes contains cheese and is therefore not suitable for those who are following a Paleolithic diet.
Ingredients for egg salad recipes #1
Here's an egg salad that many people seem to enjoy. Prepare the hard-boiled eggs in advance unless you prefer to eat them hot.
2 cups fresh baby spinach
2 tomatoes (diced)
3 ounces of feta cheese (crumbled or finely chopped)
1/2 cucumber (diced)
1 - 2 tablespoons red wine and olive oil vinaigrette dressing (according to taste). It's better to make your own dressing, but, if you do use a commercial one, please use one that has no added sweetener and is gluten-free such as Annie's Naturals Organic Red Wine & Olive Oil Vinaigrette.
4 hard-boiled egg cut into four (organic or free range are the best)
sea salt to taste
freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Using bagged greens for the base of salads is a bit more expensive, but much more convenient, than chopping your own.
Many people find that if they buy the bags, they eat a healthy salad more often. Use whatever mixture of salad greens you like.
The most nutritious greens are spinach.
We recommend eating 1 cup raw (or 1/2 cup steamed) daily. Baby leaf spinach is healthy and delicious uncooked in salads.
It's better to make your own vinaigrette dressing, but, if you do use a commercial one, please use one that has no added sweetener and is gluten-free like the one recommended in the section above.
As with all recipes, organic ingredients are a healthy choice. Use them whenever you can get them.
Enjoy!
Ingredients for egg salad recipes #2
4 organic or free-range hard-boiled eggs, chopped
3fl oz (75ml) of no sugar mayonnaise, preferably homemade
½ teaspoon of Dijon mustard
1 large celery stalk, sliced
6 scallions (spring onions/green onions) sliced
1/2 yellow or red capsicum (bell pepper/sweet pepper), deseeded and diced
1 crisp lettuce

good handful of cilantro (coriander)

Use organic ingredients as far as possible.
Method for egg salad recipes #2
In a small bowl, combine the dressing of mayonnaise and the Dijon mustard.
In a larger bowl, toss the celery, bell pepper, spring onions, and the dressing. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper according to taste. Check for seasoning and add more if required.
Serve the mixture on a bed of crisp shredded lettuce, watercress, and cilantro (coriander), with the chopped eggs scattered over the top.
Organic ingredients are a healthy choice; use organic ingredients whenever you can get them.
Eggs from free-range chickens or from chickens that have been fed enriched omega-3 feed can be a wonderful source of proteins and fats.
