Basil Egg Salad

My mom use to make my brother and I egg salad for lunch when we were younger and I loved it (minus the egg smell). This recipe reminds me of those days but the basil and spices in this recipe, tastes more grown up.











This recipe makes 2 servings:
4 hard boiled eggs (peeled and chopped)
2 tsp mayonnaise
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp parsley chopped
1 tsp onion chopped
1 tsp chopped basil
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp sea salt
Black Pepper to taste

Total Prep/ Cook Time:
20 minutes

In a medium bowl combine:
Eggs/ Mayonnaise/ Parsley/ Onion/ Basil/ Olive Oil/ Sea Salt/ Black Pepper

Mix well. Serve on a wheat pita with lettuce.

Enjoy!
