There are dozens of ways to make egg salad but this one is my favorite!  I’ve made it skinny by using a combination of eggs and whites, light mayonnaise and adding lots of flavor with the addition of mustard, relish and yes, a pinch of curry powder. Don’t be scared off by the curry powder. It’s such a small amount but really enhances the flavor of the egg salad. I’m also using a very low calorie, high fiber sandwich thin and topping with tomato and spinach.  Each delectable, vegetarian sandwich has 147 calories, 5 grams of fat and 4 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS.  This sandwich is so yummy and great to pack for a healthy lunch or even enjoy for breakfast!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes to cook eggs

Ingredients

3 eggs, I like Eggland’s Best eggs

1 tablespoon light mayonnaise, I used Best Foods (Hellman’s) Light

2 teaspoon relish

1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard or yellow mustard

¼ teaspoon curry powder, optional

⅛ teaspoon salt

Fresh ground pepper to taste

2 Oroweat Honey Wheat Sandwich Thins, see shopping tip

1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard or yellow mustard

2 large slices of tomato

¼ cup fresh spinach

Instructions

1. To cook eggs-In a small pot, add eggs and cover with water.  Bring to a boil, turn down to simmer and cook for 20 minutes.  Drain water and place eggs in a bowl of ice water for several minutes. When chilled, peel eggs.

2. In a small bowl, using a cheese grater, shred 1 whole egg and 2 whites. Throw away the other 2 yolks or use them in another recipe. Stir in mayonnaise, relish, mustard, curry powder, salt and pepper, to taste.

3. Split open sandwich thins and spread mustard inside of each piece. Divide egg salad among 2 pieces.  Top each with tomato, spinach and remaining sandwich thin.

4. You can heat the sandwich in the microwave before adding the tomato and spinach.  It taste really good warmed.
