egg salad
Egg salad should not only be eaten around Easter, the protein rich salad is an easy to prepare meal, the ingredients are mostly habitants of your pantry. In this recipe, I combined hard boiled eggs with smoked ham, sweet and sour gherkins, celery and apple. The result is a flavourful salad which can be eaten with crusty bread as a light lunch or layered between your favourite slices of bread. The choice is yours…
