Welcome!

Creating recipes isn't a pastime—it's a passion. And a lot of fun.

The rules are few: Use 99% fresh ingredients (or thereabouts); make the dish simple but flavorful; make the dish flavorful but simple; be creative, not silly.

With this blog, I want to share new recipes, along with tips on ingredients and preparation, and, hopefully, show new cooks (and non-cooks) the pleasure in setting the table with a delicious homemade meal. The Briny Lemon is about fresh, simple, flavorful ingredients and easy cooking methods that help you bring the best to your family table. Your comments are welcome!

Avocado-Egg Salad Sandwiches


Skip the mayonnaise and make your next egg salad with creamy, fresh avocado and a touch of Greek yogurt. This sandwich spread is light, nutritious, and deliciously simple.

Choose a hearty, healthful whole-grain bread and toast it for a bit of pleasant crunch.

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
  • 1 medium avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tsp chopped chives

  • 4 thin tomato slices
