This summery sandwich is a perfect lunch or even a protein-packed breakfast. A word of warning: capers are quite salty even after rinsing, so make sure to taste the salad before adding any extra...

During chemo, when immune system is down, it’s better to make egg salad as needed. It’s not something to risk buying at the deli counter.

Ingredients

  • 3 Hard Boiled Eggs, chilled
  • 1 celery rib, diced
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 teaspoon capers, rinsed well
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 5 to 6 basil leaves, washed and shredded
