Egg Salad

Egg salad is a long time family favorite and it’s a reliable standby. I ate it a lot when I was growing up, but it’s not just a school lunch sandwich. Even now my husband and I will make a batch and snack on it all weekend. We recently made egg salad for our Eggland’s Best Brunch on Palm Sunday. I usually like it on toast, but we served it on croissants for a change. It’s just as good without bread when it’s rests on top of  leafy lettuce or tomatoes. This version of the recipe is the one my mom usually makes. We sometimes substitute chopped dill pickles for the celery.

This dish was served at my Eggland’s Best Brunch on Palm Sunday with eggs provided as part of a gift package.
