When it comes to egg salad, I’m usually like, “Meh.” But I made this for the Grassroots Locavore potluck the other night, and it was better than the fancy one I made. Three ingredients. Can’t beat that.
ACTUALLY GOOD EGG SALAD – U NO CAN HAZ
eggs – hard-boiled and peeled and diced- dill pickles – diced, not too small
- mayonnaise
Mix. Add salt and pepper to taste, but taste it first, because the pickles add a certain amount of salt.
————————————————–
Why do I say, “U no can haz”? Because the eggs, although they’re in a store-boughten carton, are from our daughter’s chickens and the dill pickles and the mayonnaise are my ones, that I, as one of our girls used to say, “made by hand”. You can, though, as Brother Dave Gardner says, “have somethin’ sim’lar”.
Here is my recipe for dill pickles, and here is my recipe for mayonnaise. You’re welcome.

February 22, 2012 at 9:32amThat salad must be special indeed, Marian! I love egg salad, and usually add herbs and a touch of garlic.

February 22, 2012 at 9:34amI think that’s why I liked this so much: My pickles are made with fresh dill and garlic, and that flavored the whole salad. 🙂
