This Healthy Egg-Salad-Meets-Stuffed-Pepper Recipe Is the Opposite of a #SadDeskLunch
In reality, while you may only be a few feet (or zero) from your kitchen table, you still need lunch ideas that are quick, tasty, and—bonus—offer extra health perks. And that's where this healthy egg salad recipe from Marissa Meshulam, RD comes in—because, yes, it checks every box.
Made with Eggland's Best eggs (which contain six times more vitamin D and 10 times more vitamin E compared to ordinary eggs, both of which are reported to support your immune system), avocados, and veggies, the healthy egg salad is served in red bell pepper "cups." It's basically egg salad, guac, and stuffed peppers all combined into one delicious meal, and takes only minutes of hands-on time.
Really short on time or extra hangry? Skip the peppers, and serve the delicious spread over a bed of greens or smeared across whole wheat toast. (Aka, not only is this lunch tasty, nutrient-rich, filling, and quick, it's versatile, too.)
Oh, and, now that you have Eggland's Best eggs on hand, use the rest of your dozen to make one of these immune-boosting recipes with—of course—eggs at the center.
