Egg Salad with Basil & Capers
This summery egg salad flavored with basil and capers, makes a great lunch sandwich, or even a protein packed breakfast. Blanch the celery to be on the safe side. A word of warning: capers are very salty, even after rinsing, so make sure to taste your salad before adding any extra salt.
During chemo, when your immune system is down, it’s better to make your own egg salad as needed. It’s not something to risk buying at the deli counter.
