Ingredients
 
 

Egg Salad:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp hemp seeds
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

For serving:

  • 1 Tortilla Wraps OR
  • 1 slices of bread OR
  • Crackers

Toppings (optional):

  • Chives

Instructions
 

  • Start by cooking the egg. Add a cup of water to a small pot and bring it to a boil.
    1 egg
  • Take the egg out of the fridge, place it in a small bowl and cover it with hot tap water.
  • Once the water has come to a boil, gently lower the egg into the pot using a large spoon. Boil for 8 minutes.
  • While the egg cooks, pour out the hot water from the small bowl and set it aside. Before the egg is done, add very cold tap water to that same small bowl. You can even add a couple of ice cubes as well. Move the egg from the pot to the small bowl using a slotted spoon. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
  • While the egg cools, add the mayonnaise, salt, pepper and hemp seeds to a small bowl.
    1 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp hemp seeds, Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Once the egg is cooled, peel and grate it into the bowl with the other ingredients. It’s up to you if you prefer coarse or fine grating. Stir everything well until fully combined.
  • Serve on a sandwich, crackers or in a wrap. Cut to your child’s liking.
