Egg Salad Week

Did you know that this week has been designated by the US Census Bureau as “Egg Salad Week”? I don’t know why they have time on their hands to designate such things, but apparently they do. In honor of Egg Salad Week, and as an answer to your “what do I do with all these boiled eggs?” question… Here is my favorite basic recipe for egg salad:

Basic Egg Salad

4 Hard Boiled Eggs, peeled and chopped
¼ C. Mayonnaise (light is fine)
1 t mustard
1 T (or more to taste) pickle relish
Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Optional add-ins: chopped cucumber, chopped green olives, chopped celery, finely chopped onion

Instructions:
Gently toss all ingredients together in a bowl.

Chill for an hour or so before eating.

    I adore egg salad sandwiches. And I can go shopping for bread on Wednesday. And I have *everything* else already. Guess what lunch on Wednesday will be?
