Egg Salad Recipe?!
Egg Salad Recipe?
After 4 years I was informed that my boyfriend does not like the egg salad that I make. Can someone please give me an old fashioned recipe. His mom doesn't have a defined recipe, she just puts a little of this and that and everyone eats it. And I am really craving some egg salad. Please no jalepenos or anything crazy in the recipe please. Thanks in advance for your help!

I used to work at a sandwich shop and we made our like this:
Eggs chopped
Mayo (enough so it is not dry, but not too much to make it runny)
Mustard (just a couple of squirts)
Salt and Pepper to taste
and sugar is the key ingredient, add a tsp. at a time and use your better judgement when it has enough.
Enjoy!
I make mine with eggs, mayo, a little mustard, celery and a little chopped pickle, I also add a little salt and pepper and that's it.

Hard boiled eggs, cut up

This is what my mom always made and to this day it's the way I make it, never had a complaint. As to amounts you need to taste it and you'll know what you need more of. Good luck :)

This is just a plain jane kinda recipe. Some people add things such as pickles, onions, kyanne pepper, etc. See what he likes and dislikes and then add what he wants! :)

Tell the slacker, if he does not like the way you make it, that he is welcome to make it himself. Or at the very least offer a suggestion.
I use garlic salt, and fresh ground peppercorn in mine with, mayo, mustard, and a 1/2 tbl spoon of horseradish.
