Egg salad is extremely versatile. Add herbs, olives, capers, anchovies, or pickled peppers. If desired, leave out the mayonnaise and add the Dijon mustard and lemon juice for a more piquant flavor.
Combine in a medium bowl:
- 6 Hard-Boiled Eggs, finely chopped
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons minced celery
- 3 tablespoons minced dill pickle or cornichons
- 1 tablespoon minced onion or 2 tablespoons minced green onion
- (1 tablespoon minced herbs, such as dill or parsley)
- (1 tablespoon Dijon or whole-grain mustard)
- (1 tablespoon lemon juice)
- (¼ teaspoon curry powder)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Cover and refrigerate.
