Minutes ago, I smeared almond butter on a hard boiled egg. And it was yummers.

In fact, I have a notion for a new egg salad now. I’m gonna try it.

Hm, not something I would try - how about tahini?

[I have a 10 pack of singe serve/1 tbsp packets of tahini, and a case of ditto peanut butter - I like the Chinese takeout sesame noodles, and I faked it with peanut butter once and now I prefer peanut butter to sesame, leaving me with most of the single serve tahinis. How I fake it: 1 package of [add water and nuke ramen]([Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/Maruchan-Yakisoba-Teriyaki-Microwavable-Containers/dp/B006K3R3J2)), and since I like the veggies, I also bought dehydrated veggies [cabbage, onion, broccoli, corn, peas, carrots] and add about a quarter cup [lift the brick out, and pour the veggies under, shake to level and put the brick back in] then add water and nuke. Let stand in the microwave for an additional few minutes to make sure the veggies all rehydrate. Pull out, squeeze in the [tube of peanut butter](https://www.amazon.com/SKIPPY-Creamy-Individual-Squeeze-Pouches/dp/B08BXPN4V4/ref=sr_1_2?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlemWBhDUARIsAFp1rLXITCboOqhU8AkwivNELuMrb9PRU884IH5Zw8mMABLQaApeCA3IyUsaAsHtEALw_wcB&hvadid=178529623607&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9003285&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=8573665727014384986&hvtargid=kwd-14802333259&hydadcr=4082_9616011&keywords=individual+packets+of+peanut+butter&qid=1658528578&sr=8-2), add the flavoring packets and stir it all up. I also add a couple drops of sriracha and a dab of hoisin sauce.

I make egg salad flavored like standard deviled eggs - just chop everything, dump in a bowl with fine dice cucumber [no seeds] fine dice carrots, fine dice celery, fine dice radishes, the mayo, the mustard, a drop or 2 of sriracha, and a sprinkle of paprika. I add a bit of salt to mine, but leave it unsalted for others. Really great in butter lettuce leaf rollups.
