Egg Salad Sandwich (Diabetic)

Submitted by lazyme

"This sounds like a great low-fat egg salad. Recipe from "The Diabetes Snack Munch Nibble Nosh Book" by Ruth Glick. Cooking time does not include time for hard-boiling the eggs. Comments from the book: If you love egg salad but have cut it from your meal plan because of the cholesterol, try this zippy recipe, which discards half of the egg yolks. With all of the taste of traditional egg salad and far less fat, it's one of this cookbook author's favorite sandwiches."

My son likes egg salad sandwich but can't have that at school because of allergies. So when I made them to him for dinner at home, he was so happy. He liked them so much. And he told me it was great with the celery. I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Thanks lazyme :) Made for PAC Fall 2012

I made this skipping the sweet relish and it was excellent as part of a sandwich and salad dinner. Lots of flavor for egg salad and I just have to love the health factor. I like the open face so much that I think I'll be making many of my sandwich's with a single slice of bread and a knife and fork. Thanks so much for this hon. :D

This made a great sandwich!! I did cook 4 eggs and discarded one yolk as I was bringing these sandwiches to work, so didn't make them open-faced!! Great mix of flavours - mustard, mayo and paprika. Thanks lazyme! :) Made Photo Tag.
