Ordinary egg salad gets a Southwestern makeover with the addition of chopped scallions, green chili peppers, fresh cilantro and ground cumin. Ideal for sandwiches and wraps, eggs salad is easy to prepare. This recipe can be ready in just 15 minutes. Add it to your lunch menu or on your brunch buffet. The blend of delicate eggs yolks, cool whites and Tex-mex ingredients like salsa, cumin and green chiles is a wonderful combination and a great departure from the traditional egg salad we all grew up with. Serve over some peppery arugula, or other mixed greens for a nice salad or use as the filling for a hollowed tomato or inside hollowed egg whites for a tasty twist on deviled eggs.
