Spring Egg Salad with Chives

Eggs: A Spring Food

Did you know eggs are more abundant in the spring time? I mean, it makes sense, since spring is mating season for many animals. Also, fun fact, did you know chickens don’t need roosters to lay eggs? We have kept chickens for years, and we get that question a lot. I asked it, too, when we first got chickens. Just like human women, chickens make eggs on their own, but it takes a rooster to fertilize the egg for it to grow to a baby chick.

Anyways, enough about the birds and the bees. I’m here today with a delicious egg salad recipe because eggs are plentiful, and chives are blossoming. Don’t the chive flowers look lovely on top? You can eat them along with the chive stalks. They have a more intense onion flavor, but still not as strong as a regular yellow onion.

Benefits of Eggs

Eggs are a wonderful food. They are a complete protein, which our bodies need for bone and muscle health. They supply choline, which is a necessary nutrient that supports energy production, brain health, and metabolism. Choose pastured eggs as often as you can.

Supporting Ingredients

I make this egg salad with some homemade mayonnaise, which is made with avocado oil and tastes so much better than the store bought stuff. However, if you don’t want to make your own mayo, I understand. There’s only so much from scratch we have time to do. I like this brand of mayo when I don’t have a chance to make my own.

I add Real Salt, which contains trace minerals that are beneficial to our health, along with some fresh pepper. Lastly, I add chives with their blossoms. Chives add a mild onion flavor and are low FODMAP for those who are following that diet.

Spring Egg Salad with Chives pairs well on a salad, in a sandwich, or with crudités.

How to Serve Egg Salad

I love to have egg salad on top of a salad. That’s my absolute favorite. With fresh herbs, a splash of apple cider or white wine vinegar, and some olive oil, it just tastes so good to me.

Other favorite ways my family likes to enjoy it are on toast or in a sandwich. You can also add it to a spread with cheese, crackers, and veggies. I like to dip celery into egg salad and crunch it up.
