Basics: Meat or Egg

   Ingredients:            
½ pound chicken, beef, or ham – cooked and cut according to preference or        
12 ounces tofu, firm drained very well or          
6 large eggs          
2 tablespoons mayonnaise           
1 tablespoon yellow mustard           
¼ cup chopped onion          
¼ cup chopped celery           
2 tablespoons capers – drained          
3 tablespoons dill pickle – chopped
How to Prepare:           
Note:
chop meats to desired chunkiness after cooking.
Leftovers work
great! In a large bowl, mix desired main ingredient with remaining ingredients. 
Season to taste with salt and pepper. I like to add a little horseradish sauce to the ham or roast beef salad for some zip.
For egg salad: Mix everything but the eggs  well. Chop eggs to desired chunkiness and fold into mixed ingredients. Add a few drops of tabasco sauce if desired. A squeeze of lemon also goes well.           
For eggless salad: Mix everything but the tofu Squish tofu with your hands or with a fork until it breaks apart. Fold in with remaining ingredients.
Eggless salad should sit for at least an hour, refrigerated, before serving.            
Lemon or a few drops soy  sauce work great in tofu based salads.           
**personal note*** Process meats find in a food processor for more of a ‘spread’ consistency. Don’t process with the remaining ingredients until you get the meat broken down almost to the size you want. The spreads work very well on lettuce leaves for roll-ups The chunky version works great over lettuce for a          salad meal.
NOTES : Counts for tofu  and eggs not included in  totals… tofu is 10 carbs, eggs 3.6.
