Green Egg Sandwich

This may not be the prettiest of sandwiches, but you would never know it by the taste.  Did you grow up eating egg salad sandwiches?  This is basically egg salad with avocado mixed in.

It's loaded with protein and heart healthy fat.  

I didn't measure any of the ingredients, just eyed them.  I will give a close estimation and you can take it from there. ;)

Green Egg Sandwich

2 hard boiled eggs

1/4 of an avocado

1 green onion, chopped

1/2 tsp. mustard

2 to 3 Tbsp. mayo or Vegenaise*

1/2 tsp. turmeric

1/8 to 1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

Mash eggs and avocado with a fork.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Cover and chill until cold.  Serve on bread, crackers or veggie dippers.

*What I like about Vegenaise is... it contains no high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils or trans fat.

Creamy Avocado Dip

This creamy dip puts a new spin on guacamole.  It's got a lighter avocado flavor and a creamier texture.  

It's perfect for your favorite tortilla chips.  It also taste great with veggie dippers such as red or yellow bell peppers, carrots or tomato wedges.

This recipe is as easy as it gets.  After mashing avocado with a fork simply stir in remaining ingredients and serve.

I was experimenting with making homemade tortilla chips.  The tortillas behind the dip are brown rice and the front ones are Ezekiel tortillas.  I didn't have any corn tortillas, but they would have been good, too.

Creamy Avocado Dip

1 Avocado

1/3 Plain Greek yogurt

1/2 tsp lime juice

Heaping 1/4 tsp salt

Heaping 1/4 tsp cumin

Heaping 1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/16 tsp or a pinch black pepper

1/16 tsp or a pinch cayenne pepper

In a small bowl mash avocado with a fork.  Stir in remaining ingredients and serve.  

For homemade tortillas - simply brush tortilla with oil (I used coconut oil) and bake at 425 degrees about 7 or 8 minutes until golden and crisp.
