Actually Good Egg Salad

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.

    That salad must be special indeed, Marian! I love egg salad, and usually add herbs and a touch of garlic.

      I think that’s why I liked this so much: My pickles are made with fresh dill and garlic, and that flavored the whole salad. πŸ™‚

    I think that is a very healthy recipe. I love egg salads, and have my own recipe. But I’ll will definitely try out your recipe.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Egg salad recipe looks good. I also checked out your recipe for mayonnaise and quite liked it. I like to add some steamed vegetables to mayonnaise for a good healthy meal. Believe me it tastes well too.
