Egg Salad
by wjw on August 23, 2010
So I saw What’s Up, Tiger Lily?, the Woody Allen film about a bunch of Japanese spies running around looking for the world’s greatest egg salad recipe. This inspired me to make some egg salad, which I ate on a bagel for lunch.
But this started me thinking: What is the world’s greatest egg salad recipe?
Mine is pretty basic, with eggs, mustard, diced onion, and mayonnaise. I understand that many recipes leave out the mustard and the onion.
What’s your greatest recipe? Maybe we can have an egg-off!
Mine’s even more basic: egg and Miracle Whip (maybe some black pepper if I want to fuss over it). Now, cole slaw, that might have 10 ingredients.
We add some bacon to our egg salad. It really kicks up the flavor. Plus, you have to have the mustard.
Sometimes I throw in a bit of dill weed. Sometimes a bit of finely chopped celery for the crunch of it (organic for the flavor). It must have black pepper and I use chives instead of onions. Try it with some chipotle or cajun spice to kick it up. Or try hot Hungarian paprika (not the sweet stuff).
