Here is a classic egg salad recipe that comes together quick and easy. It uses just a few ingredients proving simple is better.
There are several variations you can make to this egg salad. Try using fresh dill or parsley instead of chives. Or add chopped celery instead of dill pickles for that added crunch you crave in an egg salad. Chopped sweet red pepper or green onions would taste great as well!
I served this egg salad on two Outer Aisle Gourmet sandwich thins because I was craving a sandwich! They make excellent sandwiches without all the carbs of traditional bread. Two of these flatbreads count as 1/3 Lean and 2/3 of a Green! I find them at my local grocery store but check out their website for a store near you.
They also taste delicious wrapped in lettuce. I used iceberg lettuce, but Boston, green leaf, romaine, or butter lettuce are also great choices. Which ever way you decide to eat them, enjoy this simple easy recipe!

To use this egg salad on two Outer Aisle Gourmet sandwich thins,, divide the entire recipe into 3 Servings instead of 2 Servings. This would give you 3 Servings with 2/3 Lean, 2 Condiments and 1/3 Optional Snack per Serving. Two sandwich thins will make up the other 1/3 Lean and 2/3 of a Greens. Add 2 and 2/3 more Greens to make a full Lean and Green meal.
