Delicious!! I made two changes: I reduced the mayo to only what was in the mix (using light mayo), opting NOT to spread any additional on the bread slices. And I just had iceberg lettuce on hand, instead of the red leaf. This was crunchy, flavorful and just a delicious egg salad that was even better the next day. I love the crunch of the celery & the salty bite of the olives. I think I'll add a little diced onion next time. Thanks! -
The recipe title is indeed true! This recipe takes the lowly egg salad sandwich to new levels. I personally am not a big egg salad fan, but an excess of boiled eggs left over from Easter sent me searching for a way to use them. This recipe definitely changed my attitude about egg salad. What a great combination of flavors! Thanks for sharing.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
