Once you’ve got a great recipe for egg salad, there’s so much you can do with it: serve it up in a sandwich or parcel it out for appetizers. Either way, I really love the versatility of this dish and the fact that it’s nutritious and always a crowd pleaser.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Start out with the freshest, cage-free, organic eggs, if possible. I also love making my own mayonnaise or buying a good quality organic variety such as the one sold at Trader Joe’s.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve got the base recipe, add additions you love. We like capers<\/strong> and olives<\/strong> <\/a>and roasted peppers <\/strong>in our house. What would you like to add?<\/p>\n

Egg Salad Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serves 6<\/p>\n

8 eggs<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup mayonnaise<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil<\/a><\/p>\n

salt, to taste<\/p>\n

freshly ground pepper, to taste<\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon dried mint<\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon dried parsley<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon capers<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yields 2 cups of egg salad (makes 4 sandwiches)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Boil eggs for about 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water and allow them to cool in that water for 5-10 minutes. This will make them easier to peel.<\/li>\n
  2. Peel the eggs of their shells and place eggs in a large bowl. Use a potato masher or the back of a large fork to gently mash the eggs until you reach the consistency desired for sandwiches or appetizers.<\/li>\n
  3. Add the mayo, olive oil<\/a>, salt, pepper and dried herbs. Mix gently. Add capers and\/or any additional ingredients desired.<\/li>\n
  4. Use 1\/4-1\/2 cup of mixture per sandwich. Croissants<\/strong>, brioche<\/strong>, and multi-grain <\/strong>breads are a great choice for egg salad sandwiches<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
