Egg Salad Lunchbox

Enjoy hard-boiled eggs on their own or chopped up and mixed with creamy dressing and some veggies thrown in for good measure. Dip a whole-wheat cracker into the mix or assemble an egg salad sandwich when you're ready to eat (last-minute assembly keeps the bread from getting soggy). If you're making lunch the night before, sprinkling the apple slices with a little cinnamon will add flavor and help mask any unsightly browning.

Ingredients

  • 1 large hard-boiled egg, chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped celery or shredded carrot
  • 2 tablespoons creamy yogurt-dill sauce (see associated recipes) or ranch dressing
  • 8 small whole-grain crackers or 1 small whole-wheat hamburger bun
  • ½ apple, sliced, or 1/2 cup mixed berries
  • ¼ cup sliced peppers, cucumbers and/or grape tomatoes
