Egg Salad

If ever there was an inexpensive source of high quality protein, it is the humble and amazingly versitile egg.  Here is my version of the classic favorite, egg salad.

Ingredients

• a dozen eggs
• mayonaise, 1/2 cup or less
• 2 tablespoons green onion
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• salt & pepper

Directions

1. Boil and peel a dozen eggs. (click here for how to boil an egg)
2. In a large mixing bowl and using a potato masher, break up the eggs.  Alternatively, chop the eggs and add the to the mixing bowl.
3. Stir in enough mayonaise to bind the eggs, up to 1/2 cup if necessary. 
4. Add two tablespoons of green onion.
5. Add two tablespoons chili powder (adds flavor, not heat)
6. Stir to mix in green onion and chili powder.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve on wraps, sandwich bread, or on crackers.
