Easy Egg Salad in Under 12 Minutes
Egg Salad? Yes please! This easy egg salad recipe is one my favorite breakfast and lunch options to eat. I love experimenting with eggs and different flavors. They are so versatile, you can add an endless variety of spices, and greens and the result is fantastic!
My favorite type of eggs are pasture raised. I have found that the secret to good eggs is in the yolk, the more yellow the yolk is, the better. We are blessed to have that option in our grocery store so pasture raised is what we choose. I also love using good quality extra virgin olive oil. It makes such a difference on the final taste of this egg salad when all the flavors come together. My favorite type of olive oil to use for this salad is Lucini.
Arugula is also a great combination with eggs if you like that peppery after taste arugula presents. Besides being extremely delicious and nutritious, this is a quick and easy go to lunch option with very few ingredients. I hope you try it and please let me know if you do!
