There is nothing more perfect than a nice egg salad sandwich when out and about in nature. This one has a little touch of a Mexican Twist thanks to the finely chopped pickled jalapenos and a touch of Valentina sauce that adds a lot of tangy flavour and not so much heat. Just a touch goes a long way but you can adjust to your taste.

Notes
We used our Lentils and Chipotle Spread leftovers as a base for this sandwich and it was amazing! Nothing goes to waste! You can find the recipe for the spread here.
