Food: Siracha and Cilantro Egg Salad Sandwich.

By Sensiblelessons @sensiblelessons

This is a really strange. And you’re probably shaking your head at this combination. Plus since it is the day after Thanksgiving and it has nothing to do with turkey – I’m in turkey overload at the moment…This post is the farthest thing from turkey..but I am thankful for it…

I really like egg salad sandwiches. I can really tell you why. I just like them.

I usually add mayonnaise and Dijon mustard and call it good. But I was feeling the need for some heat.

Siracha is a great condiment for that added heat that some dishes need. I don’t normally think that egg salad needs heat, but its all about trial and error.

I know some people don’t like cilantro. They think it tastes like soap. I don’t understand. It is one of my favorite fresh herbs. I love the spiciness and freshness it adds.

Are egg salad sandwiches only enjoyed in the Summer?
