  1. Totally awesome this salad once i tasted it at luby's reminded me of a egg salad my moms used to make but just with eggs and ham so i wanted to make it and i did go by ur recipe but i added some ham and shredded cheese which totally made it more delicious so thank you very much for this recipe
     
  2. This was FANTASTIC! I prepared it a little differently than the recipe directed however. I put the chopped lettuce into bowls. I then finely chopped the egg and minced the onion. I added sliced green olives and salted and peppered liberally. I cut the amount of mayonnaise and french dressing in half and mixed with the egg mixture. I placed a mound of the "egg salad" mixture on the chopped lettuce in the bowls and garnished with paprika and parsley. A whole pimento stuffed olive on top. It was visually and also very palate pleasing. I will make this VERY often. Thank you for sharing it Molly.
