I've said before that I could write a whole blog about sandwiches I make with fodder from Trader Joe's. The grocer always seems to have some new sandwich-worthy ingredient, from naan to carnitas to this spicy ranchero egg white salad.

In theory, packaged egg salad may sound like a bad idea, but this was fresh, flavorful, and surprising — like a cross between good, old-fashioned Southern pimiento cheese and a lighter version of the egg salad you love.

I spread a bit of mustard on a slice of multigrain bread from Trader Joe's and made a bed of lettuce, which I topped with about 1/3 of the egg salad. On the other slice of toast, I arranged a few slices of avocado, then stuck some sprouts between the creamy egg salad and silky avocado to create some friction. The balance of flavors and textures brought some welcome variety to work lunch.
