Not your typical eggwich!
Matt made up some egg salad with the hard boilers I prepared this weekend and saved me a smothering for my lunch today. It’s made with carrot, celery, spices and likely a little mayo and mustard. I plopped the salad onto a Flax Oat Bran bun.
FOB is the best of the best!!
On the side: more minty cantaloupe!!
And an army of carrot + celery with a small spoonful of Barney Butter
I look at that lunch and think two things: nutrients and variety! Yum!
Afternoon snacks: the other half of my Amazing Grass bar and a small apple
FRIDAY!!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says

I love egg salad. It reminds me of my grandma and my childhood!
Ameena says
I used to eat egg salad sandwiches all the time – but forgot about them for a while. I need to resurrect them again!
Diana says
That egg salad sandwich looks amazing. So jealous of that healthy bread though. We do have a lot of amazing bread here in Portugal but not really whole grain with natural ingredients!

I was going to say what everyone else already said- I love egg salad and never, ever make it. The little reminders about delicious (but forgotten) foods is what I love about reading food blogs! I should totally add this to my lunch rotation, it’s cheap, filling, healthy with some added veggies.
Lizz (Leading the Good Life) says
Agreed!!
Meg says
I LOVE egg salad! Just posted a little recipe on my blog, actually 😀
Enjoy your day!

I had an egg salad sandwich every one of the 180 days of school during my first grade year. I haven’t eaten one since. In fact I haven’t eaten eggs since then.
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
Ohh, I haven’t had egg salad in a looong time – that mixture sounds awesome.

Lisa C. says
I need to get myself some of that bread! And that sandwich is far superior to the kashi frozen meal I just had– i was desperate!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I love a good hardy bread like that! Have you tried orange zest on cantaloupe? With the mint…it is amazing! It really enhances the flavors! Have a great afternoon.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
That sandwich sounds fantastic! And I love the variety in you lunch.
Liz says
Hi Kath, I know you like your veggies and you like different things to dip them in. Have you tried BBQ sauce yet? I had a sald at a restaurant w/BBQ sauce instead of dressing and it was fantastic! Now I eat a lot of my raw veggies and salads with a little bit. Hope you are having fun at your internship
Kath says
It’s not my favorite, but I’ve had it before!
Eileen says
I *don’t* like egg salad … but I love the addition of so many veggies!
Lily @ Lily's Health Pad says
I love the minty cantelope idea!!
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
That bun looks great–love all the seeds. Thanks for the reminder to stop by the bakery tonight and see if the seasonal summer breads have started coming out yet.
Veggielady4life says
Ohh…. I’m gonna have to be honest and say mayo is the one thing I cannot eat. But your Barney butter looks delicious!
Wei-Wei says
I don’t really like egg salad 🙁 It must be the mayo… This sounds good, though! I’ve never really thought mixing crunchy veggies like carrots or celery with egg salad would taste good, because in my mind egg salad was always sort of just… mushy. But I guess those’ll give it some extra good texture? :S
I look at your lunch and I see: YUUUUUM! 😀
Hope the rest of your Friday is wonderful! 🙂

Claire says
I still need to search for that bread at GH! Looks tasty.
Mary says
I haven’t had egg salad in a long time, Kath!

Jealous 🙂

I’ve seen a lot of people eat carrots with almond butter. I just don’t think I can do it!
Amber K says
I am not a fan of egg salad, but that bread looks good enough to eat with anything!

Paige(Running Around Normal) says
The egg salad sandwich looks delicious! I need to get my hands on some of that bread.Nutricious and delicious in deed!
Camille says
Oh man, egg salad! I had sort of forgotten about it! One of my favorites, thanks for reminding me 🙂
Cali says
If your hubby could make a gluten-free flax oat bread, I would fly out there and give him a big smooch on the cheek. That roll looks fabulous. And I have an instant craving for egg salad now! 🙂
Natalie says
I used to hate egg salad but I should give it another try. Yours looks tasty.
I love, love, love carrot sticks with peanut butter or almond butter. It is just the best, far better than ranch for dipping.
jen trinque says
Love the beautiful, summery pictures, as always!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i fix eggs early on the week too – the other day i mistakenly boiled the water first and then dropped in the eggs (i was thinking pasta) but it turns out it still works – just harder to get the shell off, FYI!
Marisa (Loser for Life) says
Those buns look so delicious! I love army carrots, too 😉
[email protected] says
That sandwich looks so so tasty! I love the addition of carrots to it!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
I’ve seriously been lacking in the whole egg salad department for a while. And i’ve been wanting some like crazy!!!
Kori & Kaci says
That lunch screams to me healthy deliciouness! 🙂 Happy Friday, Kath!!

I like the egg salad with the carrots and celery. It add’s crunch and nutrients.
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Wow that bread looks amazing. I wish we had Great Harvest bakeries here in Canada!
Hannah says
I don’t think I’ve ever made or eaten an egg salad sandwich. I think it’s maybe a more American thing? This does look yummy, though!
