I decided to get a little crazy and mix pine nuts in my egg salad since I love them and had them in my cupboard. It added a nice crunch! Then I got even crazier and topped my egg salad english muffin with mashed avocado. It was awesome! Egg salad + pinenuts + avocado = Meatless Monday Magnificence!

I was all excited about the sour cream switch, but then I saw the avocado and really fell in love! What a brilliant twist!!
ReplyDeleteIf this is crazy then I don't want to be sane! I love the idea of pine nuts and avocado with egg salad. And a healthier egg salad at that. I can't wait to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI love deviled eggs and never thought of using sour cream instead of mayo but will try it. Avocado is one of my favorite things in a sandwich or salad lately so that caught my eye. Although I like Pine nuts I may leave them out but try later as I may try pistassio nuts instead.
