FAT-FREE EGG SALAD SANDWICH WITH SAVOURY TWIST, high fibre, frugal

Finally, a tasty egg salad sandwich free of mayo...

Honey and mustard add piquancy to a no-fat egg sandwich

Weight Watchers published its annual list of recipes recently and this one caught 67goingon50's eye.

It appealed because it has virtually no fat, its flavours are unexpected and delightful, and the texture is unusual - in a good way.  

And with eggs being an inexpensive source of good protein and most of the ingredients probably already in your fridge & cupboard, it's budget friendly, too. 

Reader, it was delicious - as breakfast, lunch or a snack.

Good wholemeal bread, preferably seeded, is recommended but really any  will do.

Ingreds: 

1 hardboiled egg, coarsely chopped

Dressing

1 tbsp fat-free thick yoghurt

1 tsp wholegrain mustard with honey OR any mustard with a shot of honey or maple syrup

1 tsp white of spring onion, finely chopped

squeeze lemon or lime juice  

2-3 lettuce leaves, washed & dried, whole or finely sliced

1/4 avocado finely sliced and drizzled with lemon juice

finely sliced radishes (opt)

1 large or 2 small slices wholemeal bread, seeded preferred

Cost: depends on cupboard but around 75p?

Feeds: 1 but multiplies easily

Method:

1. Mix dressing; add egg
2. Toast bread till golden brown both sides
3. Cover surface with lettuce leaves
4. Pile on egg salad
5. Arrange avocado slices and radishes on top
6. Season with salt & pepper

Tips:

• Open-faced sandwich (untoasted): if making in advance place the avocado between the lettuce and egg mix
• You don't need butter but a thin layer for butter fanatics will be fine even if it does add calories
• Add an extra egg to make this a substantial snack
