Egg Salad with Crunchy Vegetables and Quinoa
A refreshing twist on classic egg salad, featuring a mix of crunchy vegetables and a modest serving of quinoa for texture and a nutty flavor. The dish is lightly dressed in olive oil and a touch of light mayo to bring it all together, making for a satisfying, low-protein, balanced lunch option.
INGREDIENTS
1 large Whole Egg
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup diced Celery
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup diced Cucumber
1/8 cup diced Red Onion
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Light Mayonnaise
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Hard boil the egg by placing it in a small pot with water. Once boiling, let it simmer for about 9-10 minutes. After cooking, cool the egg in ice water and peel it.
Separate the egg white from an additional raw egg white (if not already separated) or use a pre-separated egg white, and combine with the chopped hard-boiled egg.
In a medium bowl, mix the chopped egg and egg white with the cooked quinoa.
Add the diced celery, red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion to the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil and mix in the light mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir all ingredients gently until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately or chill for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
