Egg Salad Please!!! :)

[KatyTheChickenLady]

Okey dokey then, I did a search on here and came up with . . . NOTHING!
Everybody knows mom's version with mayo/mustard/salt & pepper.
So who makes it DIFFERENT??? Let's hear/share some really cool (dare we say healthy) twists on egg salad.

I'll start it off with one of mine:

Katy's Indian Eggs

Eggs - boiled & chopped
Mayo - less than usual
Curry Powder - to taste
Fresh Cilantro - chopped, not to much
Champagne grapes - or if you can't find those use sweet purple grapes cut into quarters

Mix together and chill for at least an hour. Serve on bread with fresh lettuce and sliced white onion.

My aunt makes it with chopped up green olives (mayo and a touch of mustard of course). Egg & Olive Salad.

I like it with about 6 olives per egg. DELISH! With the olives there is no need for salt... just a dash of pepper!

Mmmmmmmmmmm, sounds good.

I usually chop bell peppers and green onions, along with the mayo, touch of garlic powder, S&P into mine.

I'll try yours, with the curry and cilantro, next time. Oh and green olives sound interesting as well. Are those olives stuffed with pimentos or something else?

Yum Yum!

that's what I'm talking about! Olive sound great gotta try it. Garlic powder and Bell peppers is a good idea too . . . I wonder what else to add to that, hmmm gotta think on that a bit

I make it like this sometimes too. It IS good with the olives!

I'm thinking a little fresh thyme would balance the olives well . . . still thinking

i just saw one that looks good.. chop eggs , celery, green onion, crisp bacon crumbled and hidden valley ranch dressing

 

[KatyTheChickenLady]

Very good . . . I think were on to something here . . .
I don't like the bacon, to predictable for my taste, BUT what if we combine the green onions . . . no bettter yet chives, celery, BELL PEPPER, and a bit of the hidden ranch stirred into the mayo we've got super crunchy, ranchy, totally new I LOVE IT. Let's see who came up with those . . . Wildorchid and(scrolling back) . . . vpnloveschickens . . . I guess we'll have to call it:

Wild Love Egg Salad!

EGGS - boiled & chopped
CHIVES - chopped
CELERY - chopped
BELL PEPPER - chopped
MAYO
HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH MIX - to taste

Mix ranch mix into mayo, then mix everything together - chill for at least an hour.

There is a thread with egg salad, chicken salad and deviled eggs somewhere in the archives. It is probably buried in the middle of another thread about eggs.
