Curried Egg Salad Sandwich: 3 or 4 points per serving (without bread)

This one is from Weight Watchers, I haven't tried it myself yet, but I will review it as soon as I do!  It looks simply WONDERFUL!

 Servings: 2
Points per serving (see below)

Curry powder adds great flavor to egg salad. The yellow color also fools the eye into thinking there are more than only 2 egg yolks in the recipe.

Ingredients
4 Egg Whites (large, boiled)
2 Egg Yolks (large, boiled)
2 1/2 Tbsp reduced-calorie mayonnaise (using Reduced Cal = 4 points per serving, 9 points for total recipe not including any bread)
OR . . . 2 1/2 Tbsp Fat Free mayonnaise (using Fat Free Mayo = 3 points per serving, 6 for total recipe not including any bread)
1 Tbsp raisins, chopped   
1 Tbsp red onion(s), finely chopped   
3/4 tsp curry powder   
1/4 tsp table salt, or to taste   
2 leaf/leaves Boston lettuce   

Bread not included in the point total for this recipe so that you can figure out what YOUR favorite bread would add to the points total.  Consider making a lettuce wrap instead, if you're short on points! 

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine egg whites and yolks, mayonnaise, raisins, onion, curry powder and salt.
  • Place 1/2 cup egg salad on each of two slices of toast; top each with a lettuce leaf, torn or folded to fit bread. Top each sandwich with a second slice of toast. Yields 1 sandwich per serving.

Notes

  • Instead of the red onion, you could use either sliced scallions or snipped chives.
