#351 - Martha's Green Egg Salad Sandwich

I printed this recipe off from Martha Stewart over 4 years ago and I finally decided to make it yesterday for St. Patty's day.

You could really make it any day, but I had some avocados I needed to use and I thought it was a perfect green thing to make. (plus I've been craving egg salad sandwiches)

I modified the recipe a little:

• 5 hard-boiled egg whites
• 1 hard-boiled egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon mustard (Martha used Dijon, but I'm not that fancy)
  
• 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 avocado, mashed, plus 1/4 avocado roughly chopped
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• Lettuce, arugula, and tomato slices (optional - I didn't have any of this)
• 6 slices white/wheat sandwich bread (I like wheat, Pepe likes white)
  

1. Using a pastry blender or fork, mash together egg whites and yolks in a large bowl; carefully fold in avocado. Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
2. Place 3 slices of bread on a work surface. Evenly divide egg salad among bread slices. Add lettuce greens or tomato, if desired. Top with remaining 3 slices bread. Serve.

It's pretty good and I'll definitely make it again if I have avocados on hand.
ps, see the wheat bread above...so good...store bought...for $.70...I have a post I want to do about it.
