Egg Salad

"I've been making this since I was a kid. Its a great way to use up hard boiled eggs at Easter. Great for breakfast, or lunch or stuffed into cherry tomatoes as an appetizer! It tastes better if it sits for an hour."

  1. You really want to dothis one!<br/><br/>Its a "starter" recipe...you want to take a bit of care and use double yolked eggs, as that's where the "taste" jumps up...and use Hellman's as opposed Miracle Whip...<br/><br/>The other comments give other great thoughts...chopped scallions, fresh picked green pepper, celery, and such...mustard belongs on the bread/bun in my opinion, but this one makes my mouth water...
     
  2. Good basic egg salad, add: dash onion powder, mustard, drip of vinegar, salt & pepper w/less mayo. yummmy
     
  3. Easy to prepare... no fuss... and you'll have a satisfying and delicious sandwich right away.
     
  4. if you add thin cut pickles and a bit a mayonaisse you've got a contest winner ;)
     
  5. I remember making this when i was a kid. I would come home from school while mom was still at work and make myself a quick simple egg salad sandwich to tie me over. I did feel like this egg salad was missing a little flavor though. I added some salt, pepper, and mustard. I also love just using it like a dip and eat it with crackers. Great starting recipe to tweak with.

  1. This is the base of my egg salad recipe as well. I love it and its so easy! Usually I'll use miracle whip instead of mayo, just to give it a little tang, and i'll add a squirt of mustard and a dash of worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. I like to serve it on white bread or croissants. Thanks for posting!
