Egg Salad

Every year near Easter, we would dye Easter eggs. Mom still dyes eggs every year with her grandkids. What to do with all those hard-boiled eggs? Of course, you could make Eggs Newport or Ham and Egg Combo. Or, you could make egg salad.

Mom's egg salad is a simple recipe: eggs, mayo, and a bit of salt and pepper. You can use as many eggs as you have on hand and then just adjust the mayo, salt and pepper to taste. Some recipes call for other ingredients, such as green onion, avocado, paprika, yellow mustard, garlic, dill, parsley, among other options. Feel free to make egg salad with any extras. But, in my memory, Mom's egg salad was simple and delicious. We would often eat the egg salad on Ritz crackers or on sandwich bread. I particularly like the egg salad when it is served cold, and it is a great make-ahead work day lunch.
