Spicy Egg Salad and Egg Salad Melt with a Kick!
Egg salad with a touch of heat! Perfect for lunch, a light dinner, snack or even breakfast!
This egg salad is just a little spicy. I'm not a fan of "take your breath away and break out in a sweat spicy" but do enjoy a little heat every now and then. This recipe takes regular egg salad, but made with plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, and adds a little cayenne pepper and hot sauce to liven it up. Chopped celery adds a welcome cooling crunch.

Choosing something that is easy to prepare, affordable (15 cents per egg!) and delicious makes eating healthy a breeze! Simply add a whole grain such as bread or crackers, a piece of fruit and maybe some carrot or celery sticks and you're good to go!
