two eggs make a right
You’ve heard of egg salad, but have you heard of egg dressing? It’s an easy way to add a dose of protein and flavor to your leafy greens. The great news is, this might be one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make. Okay, you do need to hard boil a couple eggs, but I promise that’s the most difficult part. Other than that, you’re just whisking together some sugar, vinegar, salt, and sour cream. This recipe came from my Ukrainian grandmother’s recipe archives (not sure if it’s necessarily a Ukrainian recipe, but sour cream and eggs do play very important roles in our cuisine). I think it’s kind of an old-school style dressing, but it doesn’t mean it’s not delicious. And like I said, it’s the quickest way I can think of to add some protein to a meal if you’re scrambling for dinner. Better yet, try to always have a jar of this dressing prepared in the fridge, and when you get home late from work and only have a bag of salad greens for dinner, you’re golden.
