Better Egg Salad Recipe

By ldelmas

Ingredients

• 16 ounces egg substitute
• 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons relish
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12 slices reduced-calorie whole wheat bread
• 6 romaine lettuce leaves

Preparation

Step 1

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over low heat. Place egg substitute in the skillet and slowly cook over very low heat. As egg substitute begins to get firm, lift the edge with a spatula and tilt the pan so that the liquid egg can get underneath.

Continue doing this until most of the liquid egg is gone. Temperature should be low enough that none of the egg substitute gets browned. Remove skillet from heat and allows egg substitute to cool completely. Chop egg substitute into small pieces.

Combine chopped eggs, mayonnaise, celery, bell pepper and relish and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for at least an hour to chill. Divide egg mixture between 6 slices of whole wheat bread, top with lettuce and serve.
