    About The Recipe

    The original version of this recipe was created by @herdresscode and you can check it out here. And it has 12+ million (!) views for good reason...this salad is GOOD.

    Not only is this a healthy recipe that's loaded with fresh ingredients; it's tasty and satisfying too. The hard boiled eggs give this recipe plenty of protein, and all of the chopped veggies add a good variety of nutrients.

    You'll want to make this salad your new go-to for a lunch, dinner, or meal prep for this summer and beyond.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Dressing: I've created my own simple, homemade Zesty Italian Dressing for this recipe but you can use a store bought version (that's what she does in the original TikTok recipe)
    • Cucumbers: I've used English/hot house cucumbers but any variety will work
    • Bell peppers: use any color
    • Pepperoncini: these are usually found in a jar in the condiment aisle of the grocery store. Banana peppers (or even pickles) could be substituted.

    Storage

    • Leftovers: if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 - 5 days.
    • Meal prep: this is a great recipe for meal prep! Make it ahead of time and store it in a single container or individual containers. Double the recipe if you want larger portions.

      I don’t TikTok but I saw this recipe and it reminds me of a mash up of egg salad and an Italian sub. So good!

      This is delicious! I added arugula (because I thought it sounded good) and only used half the dressing.

      Next time I will halve the dressing recipe and cut back a tad on the honey, but this is so good!!!! You won’t be disappointed
