I try to add vegetables to everything I eat — even egg salads. Not only does this practice of eating my vegetables fill me up, but it adds a whole lot of extra nutrients, flavor, and texture to all my meals. It also stretches out the meal so I can serve more people or pack more lunches for the week.

Hard-boiled eggs are a great way to have a healthy protein snack handy, but this egg salad really takes it up a notch. The kale adds flavor and nutrition, while the apricots and almonds provide a special pop. Treat yourself to this one and see how easy it is to create something special for yourself.
