Sometimes one just feels like eating Egg Salad like when you were young. Here is a simple and easy recipe – Lively Life’s Best Egg Salad that mixes many of our comfort foods in with a new twist of tomatoes and capers. 

Mayonnaise – please start to look for Mayonnaise with avocado oil or olive oil (healthy fats) and  buy full fat not light! Eat Mayonnaise in small amounts since its high calories. 

WHY NOT CANOLA OIL? normal Mayonnaise is typically canola oil (Rapeseed oil  – Vegetable oil) that is GMO, most is extracted with a hexane solvent and the heat turns is rancid, destroys omega-3s and creates trans fats. This causes inflammation. There is “cold-pressed” canola oil that is expensive and not used in mayonnaise.

WHY NOT LIGHT? Light Mayonnaise  often contains added sugar or carbs to maintain texture, and additives like food starch, gums and others not found in regular mayonnaise. 

Which diet is this Best Egg Salad suitable for?
