Egg Salad Makes 2 sandwiches 5 hard-boiled eggs (cold or room temp) 1 tablespoon mayo 1 teaspoon dijon mustard 1/2-1 rib of celery, diced salt and pepper to taste optional (but recommended in any combination): dash of curry powder dash of paprika dash of cayenne Place the whole eggs in a mixing bowl. I prefer to use 3 whole eggs and 2 whites because the texture of hard-boiled yolks doesn't necessarily tickle my fancy, but that's entirely up to you. Don't worry - when I'm at home I feed the yolks to the Boofer and the Doofer (my dogs, Breeze and Knight respectively), because yolks make their coat nice and shiny. Here I feed them to the compactor, which is slightly less economical but it's two yolks, okay? Give me a break. Add in the rest of the ingredients and get to chopping and mixing with a fork. Keeping the eggs whole at first allows you to keep chunks in the egg salad so it's not so smooth. Refrigerate the salad until cold and then serve it on a slice of Sar's amazing sandwich bread (toasted if you're not bringing it to work!). |
