Cilantro Lemon-Lime Egg Salad
This afternoon, I was craving more of the delicious Chickpea Avocado Salad I made this weekend, but I was out of chickpeas. I had one avocado in the house and remembered Martha Stewart’s favorite egg salad recipe I’ve been wanting to try.
I boiled my eggs the Martha Stewart way and chopped them up. Then, when I cut into my avocado…it was brown and yucky. I was so bummed!
I sat there thinking about the avocado chickpea salad and how much I loved the cilantro and citrus together. So I decided to throw similar flavors together with the eggs and see how it would taste…
IT’S MY NEW FAVORITE EGG SALAD!!!
So simple. So good.
Cilantro Lemon-Lime Egg Salad
- 5 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon diced green onions
- 1 tablespoon diced red onion
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of Mayonnaise (any kind, light, reg – not Miracle Whip – *you can add more if you like)
- fresh cracked pepper to taste
- salt to taste (I used sea salt)
Directions
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and gently fold/mix everything together. Serve on a bed of lettuce, your favorite bread, or with crackers.
