Better-for-you Egg Salad

Submitted by Amanda Beth

"Boil your eggs, and eat them, too!! This is a great egg salad, and is 3 ww points a serving, not including any bread. I like mine on toasted oat bran bread, but I'm sure rye bread would be tasty too!! My dog gets the discarded yolks! Prep time assumes eggs are already boiled. Modified from a Weight Watchers recipe."

I enjoyed this! I used red bell pepper and green onions because that is what I had on hand. The next time, I will probably make it without any yolks so that it is even "better-for-you"! Made for Healthy Choices ABC.

This was great!! I could make up a good batch and use it for lunches. :D On CORE there are no points unless you eat it on bread. I use butter lettuce leaves so no points and I am in heaven!!!!

I subbed some red bell pepper for the green so this salad was colorful as well as delicious. Didn't miss all that cholesterol at all and I made no other changes, just seasoned to my liking.

This is an ok egg salad but I felt like it was missing something. (I usually make my egg salad with just egg whites, so it wasn't yolks that were missing.) I think it needs more salt, more mustard, and maybe some other seasonings. But a good jumping off point for low-fat egg salad. Thanks!
