Essenced Egg Salad
Egg salad is definitely a comfort food, and just a small amount will fill you up. This spicy Paleo version is sure to please! The spice in this recipe is not overbearing, but extra heat can always be added to make this a fiery lunch option. This is great on top of a salad. Try adding chopped vegetables if you like crunch! Celery, onions, jalapeños, and other vegetables work well.
