"A spicy take on a stand-alone egg salad. Makes a great breakfast without all the heaviness and calories! I sometimes have it as a side instead of chips with a sandwich, too." — Turnin40EatinBetter

Footnotes

Cook's Note:
I always buy 2 dozen eggs at a time - 1 to keep raw, 1 to boil - so hard boiled eggs are always in my fridge. Buying breakfast at work was getting expensive and sometimes I get oatmeal'ed out. This was a great way to change things up in the morning and it carries me through 'til lunch.

My review from when it was still a personal recipe: "I thought I was the only person who did this. I like to add in chopped pickled jalapenos to this, too. Great stuffed inside celery or a hollowed out cucumber for a low-carb snack."
