3 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. In 3-quart saucepan, place eggs and enough cold water to cover by at least 1 inch; heat to boiling over high heat. Immediately remove saucepan from heat and cover tightly; let stand 15 minutes. Pour off hot water and run cold water over eggs until easy to handle.

Increase heat to medium-high; add mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are golden and all liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  3. Peel hard-cooked eggs and finely chop. In large bowl, combine eggs with mushroom mixture, celery, parsley, salt, pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; toss well.
  4. To serve, line platter with lettuce leaves and top with egg salad. Each serving:About 190 calories, 11g protein, 5g carbohydrate, 14g total fat (3g saturated), 283mg cholesterol, 290mg sodium
