80--- Greens, Eggs & Ham Salad

Dr. Seuss would be proud.  As well as his cardiologist.

This is a fantastic egg salad to use up leftover Easter eggs AND Easter ham!  The greens add a crisp crunch, as well as a ton of nutrients!

If you don't have leftover hard-boiled eggs, here's a trick: Instead of going through the painful process of hard-boiling eggs (are they done? are they not done?), then peeling them, then chopping them, use an egg poaching pan and poach them until the yolks are solid.  Benefits: 1) you KNOW that they are done, 2) no peeling.  I poached two full eggs as well as four egg whites for this recipe.  I recommend chilling them prior to chopping.
