When You Have Hens That Lay, It's Time for Egg Salad Supreme!

 We have an abundance of eggs this time of year, so I am trying to incorporate them into our diet. I started with 6 hard boiled eggs, (I will share a trick I learned about them in my next post)
 Then I diced up orange bell pepper
 celery
 and green onion, all 1/4 cup each.
 Next I added 1/4 cup each of real mayonnaise
 and plain non-fat yogurt.
 A couple of squirts of yellow mustard.




1/2 tsp each of black pepper, garlic salt and seasoning salt. 
Whaalaa! Egg Salad Supreme! It's super yummy, creamy and crunchy at the same time. We really enjoyed the egg salad on our home made multi grain bread with home grown carrots. Enjoy!
