Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. I have now become quite a fan of eggs, deviled, poached, omelette, fritatta, you name it. Egg salad is bascially deviled eggs all mushed up with some flavor and seasoning. This egg salad has the flavors of the Southwest. The original recipe calls for a teaspoon of green chili peppers but I used a jalapeno pepper for a little more flavor and heat. This egg salad was delicious and it made my mouth pop. Plus, eating this egg salad will fill you up in no time. AND... Iron Chefs Bobby Flay and Jose Garces will be happy that you made this dish.
