Egg Salad with Zucchini
I’m staring down a packed fridge this week, wondering how we are possibly going to eat all the food that’s within. I’ve managed to purchase more produce that we can possibly eat, mostly because the summer harvest is early this year, and it just looks so inviting.
It’s really the box of zucchini that has me scratching my head as I ponder the possibilities for using up my supply over the next few days. I’ve done the requisite loaves (with chocolate chips!) and biscuits (with cheddar!), I’ve sautéed, grated and sliced and added it to many of my cooked meals, and until yesterday morning I was convinced that I had given my zucchini more personalities than it could handle’until I decided to make use of it raw.
Which is how the very best egg salad sandwich was born.
Hard-boiled eggs, a touch of creamy mayo and grainy mustard, fresh herbs, a grind of salt and fresh ground pepper, combined with raw zucchini, has yielded what can only be dubbed as the best sandwich ever. It seems impossible to believe, but give it a try and I think you’ll see that I’m right.
What’s even better is that the kids like it. They really do. They may think the ‘green stuff’ is chopped herbs, and who am I to correct them. While I’m not in the habit of filling their foods with hidden items, I’m not opposed to letting them believe it’s parsley that’s tucked in with the eggs if that’s truly what they think they’re seeing.
What are some of the interesting ways you’re using up your summer bounty this year?
