Notes

  • I use the American Mustard in a squeezy bottle from the grocery store 
  • Any colour quinoa will do well in the salad, just depends on how you want it to look
  • Cool eggs before peeling and slicing them 
  • Boil a few more eggs for mid week healthy snacks! 
  • For runny eggs, boil for 4 minutes, for harder boiled eggs cook for 6 minutes. 
  • Fake bacon is a substitute which could make this salad vegetarian
