Eggstra Eggs

I know a lot of people eat their leftover Easter eggs with just a little salt and pepper, or turn them into deviled eggs.

But I really like a good egg salad, which is a lot like chopped-up deviled eggs between two pieces of bread—or in a bowl.


Old-Fashioned Egg Salad
Recipe courtesy of Taste of Home magazine. I’d sub a little fresh onion for the dried. You might need a little extra lemon juice and a dash of hot sauce to liven it up.
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped celery


In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, onion, salt and
pepper. Stir in eggs and celery. Cover and refrigerate. Yield: 3
servings.

looks yummy, but can’t beat my tradition in Wilson, NC
We are creatures of habit and a long time recipe. Simple is what we like. Eggs, MAYO (KRAFT), salt and pepper. When you start adding celery it starts turning into potato salad and we don’t add onion, because it doesn’t save well in the fridge if left over. AND I never ‘measure’ ingredients… you just do it!
I may try yours sometime on my own, but don’t tell my family!
