I have a difficult time eating food that has passed its sell by date. Partially because of a slight paranoia that I’ll get sick, but mostly because I don’t understand the concept. Why sell by and not eat by? How many days, exactly, does one have to eat by after a sell by? And an even more confusing, unrelated to this post, question – how many edible days follow the refrigeration of a refrigerate after opening food?
Luckily there’s an easy solution for the half-dozen eggs that are sitting in your fridge on their sell by date. Egg salad. Hard-boil your almost-bad eggs and let them hang out in your fridge {with shells on} for a couple of days until you have time to prep some super delish egg salad.
And then skip the mayo and reach for an avocado as your binder. I used almonds for texture and basil for flavor, but the traditional mix of onions and celery would totally do.
