P90X Meal of the Week! (LUNCH)

Egg Salad Sandwich:

6 large eggs
1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
Salt and pepper
A tiny squeeze of lemon juice
2 stalks celery, washed and chopped
1/2 bunch chives, chopped
2 small handfuls of lettuce
8 slices of whole grain bread, toasted

Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by a 1/2-inch or so. Bring to a gentle boil. Now turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for exactly seven minutes. Have a big bowl of ice water ready and when the eggs are done cooking place them in the ice bath for three minutes or so – long enough to stop the cooking. Crack and peel each egg, place in a medium mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, a couple generous pinches of salt and pepper, now mash with a fork. Don’t overdo it, you want the egg mixture to have some texture. If you need to add a bit more mayo to moisten up the mixture a bit, go for it a bit at a time.

Stir in the celery and chives. Taste, and adjust the seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.

To assemble each egg salad sandwich: place a bit of lettuce on a piece of toast, top with the egg salad mixture, and finish by creating a sandwich with a second piece of toast.

Preparation Time: 15 Minutes

Serves: 4

I had this today because today is Ash Wednesday and as  a Catholic were not supposed to eat meat today.  This is also good for the vegetarian fan.  You can also keep the rest in a bowl and refrigerate for one day and have for lunch the following day.  Ever since I have been doing RevAbs I have had a harder time sticking with a good diet so writing about it helps me stay focused and get good results like I had with P90X.
