Egg Salad for One
This is a great meal to make when you’re working from home or need a quick, easy and protein-rich lunch. You can whip up the dressing while waiting for the eggs to cook, and reserve the other half of the dressing for my Chickpea, Celery and Walnut salad for later in the week.
This recipe is perfect for one, but you can easily double or quadruple it if you’re feeding extra people or want to eat it over a number of days.
