This month couldn't be busier. So many year end activities, and enough crafts pinned from boards that will launch me from here, through to the next Christmas, and possibly beyond. Yes, it is the most wonderful time of my year, where I think I have enough vigor to take me through various channels, but in actuality, my pep gets dramatically curtailed. With trying to do all that has to be done, those that I wish done stay right up there in a conjured up ethos, desiring much to reach their manifested end.
Keeping in mind that your kitchens and heads will probably be busier than mine, perhaps not to the same ineffectual degree, I convinced myself to take it easy and bring you the one recipe that may cut you some serious seasonal slack. Introducing my lunch for the past
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs, hard boiled and peeled
- 1 green onion chopped, small
- ½ c chopped celery
- ¼ c mayonnaise (light olive oil mayo or low fat)
- 1 pinch horseradish
- 1 tsp whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp cayenne (or paprika)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- Cut up eggs either with an egg slicer or with a knife, keeping it slightly chunky.
- Add all the ingredients from the onions to the pepper in a large bowl and mash well with a large fork or wooden spoon.
- Add eggs to the dressing mixture and combine well.
- Serve on bread or layered in a salad.
Intentionally prettied, the salad works well atop crisp french bread slices. A guest pleaser for sure, be it party, potluck, not to forget self serve.
Notes:
Mix and match, Curry powder (Madras), red onions, capers and dill, raisins and even crunchy seeds deliver punch and crunch to fit the occasion as well as your craving. Versatility, yes and yes!
Oh, Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how beautiful your filling. And you, naughty Ginger we did catch- all bundled up savory, and with three bites- shoo:) Cookie cutters put to good use.
Sidenote~
Egg salad does not keep well (especially with onions), so make enough for the need and fridge up for no more than a day.
Stay tuned people, we're going to soak some fruit next week. "What for?" you ask? A holiday staple in my house, believe me, it is the BOMB.
