Same favorite place, new favorite lunch

 What up?  I've been rather MIA for awhile.  And it's because we were gearing up for a trip south to one of my favorite place ever.  And then we came back to the eternal winter.....so I had to get over my depression.  But I'm back.

Sanibel is my happy place.  In my childbirth class, they told us to think about a place that makes you happy and relaxed, and for me, that's Sanibel.  I love every minute of being on that island.  I love the lack of stoplights and commercialism.  I love that it is perfectly acceptable, normal, and in fact expected that you eat dinner at 5:00 pm and go to bed by 8:30.  I love that you can get around fastest on bike.  And I love that we have already had the fortune to introduce our children to this happy place.

And they thought it was pretty rad too.

But every once in awhile we had to drag them ourselves away from the salt and sand to nourish our bodies.  And we put together a tasty little dish, which has become my new favorite go to for lunch.

Even though it was best the first time we made it in Sanibel (#everythingtastesbetterinsanibel), I am loving this dish (and closing my eyes and picturing myself returning to the beach as soon as my plate is clear).  

Avocado Egg Salad (measurements are approximations; I don't like to measure)

6 hardboiled eggs (diced)

1 avocado (diced)

1/4 c. chopped onion

1/4 c. chopped celery

1 T. relish (or chopped pickles)

2 T. dijon mustard

2 T. mayo

salt

pepper

dill

any other herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon, etc.)

Mix all ingredients together; serve on a bed of arugula (or on a sandwich topped with arugula).

Then return to the beach for more fun in the sun.

Just a dad and his little mermaid.
