Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes and 12 almonds. To add more volume, add a handful of popcorn.

Good For You Egg Salad Recipe

Protein packed eggs are one of the most versatile foods.

One large egg only costs you about 75 calories.

Good For You Egg Salad
3 extra large eggs
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon of slivered almonds
Pinch of fresh ground black pepper

• Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water.  Bring to a boil, turn off the heat, cover the pot and let it sit on the hot burner for 8 minutes.
• Remove from stove, drain water and run cold water over eggs.  Peel eggs, discarding two of the yolks. Place the whole egg and the two whites in a bowl.
• Mash with a fork.  Add the celery, parsley, mustard, almonds and pepper and mix.

Eat as is or serve on flatbread.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, 2 cups seeded cucumber half-moons, 2 cups watermelon balls, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.  Toss with 2 teaspoons thick, aged balsamic vinegar. Let stand 5 minutes, then sprinkle with leaves from a sprig of tarragon and cracked black pepper to taste.

(Instead of the vinegar I will use a Sun-Dried Tomato Vidalia Onion Dressing I love.)
