When Ethan went to college and I was visiting him for the first time, I asked what food he wanted me to bring. Ironically, I had already made it, because I knew his answer. It was Alpha Egg Salad. For him, I add sliced Red Beets. 🙂
This is a monthly staple at our house. Inexpensive, Convenient, Sweet, Heat, Creamy. Combination of Eggs, Pickled Red Beet Eggs, Sweet Spicy Tuna and Crazy Good Fermented Carrots for a delicious sandwich salad. This tasty treat is loaded with Protein, Fat, Good Cholesterol and Fermented Goodness. My kids love it on some low carb bread. I enjoy mine in a Keto soft taco shell.
This is a true game changer for egg fans. Eggs are highly nutritional including all the essential amino acids. I consider them a super food. Think about it. An egg has everything in it to sustain life. Try this egg salad straight up on a spoon, over a bed of lettuce, in a romaine leaf or on a keto taco shell. I’ve never had a better egg salad.
Nutritional Facts will be listed at the end.
