Eggstatic Egg Salad

I have accepted an egg salad cook off challenge, and am delighted to submit my entry here, because it is a winner. Developed in my own kitchen with no assistance from outside sources, other than internal verbal encouragement. Lip-Smacks and loud Cheers of YUM YUM could be heard throughout the house; every great chef strives to hear YUM YUM. Warning: Please do not attempt to express an opinion, with your mouth full of egg salad; it is off-putting, and not a pretty sight.

Really good! Enjoyed the fresh herbs, it was a nice change for egg salad. Added salt and served on wheat toast. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is a very interesting variation of an old standby. I liked the subtlety of the chives and the hint of tartness provided by the vinegar. I used white wine balsamic vinegar, so as not to cloud the delicate yellow hue of the salad. On its own, I felt the salad needed a bit of salt...but spread on toasted slices of cocktail rye the flavors of the bread and salad melded wonderfully. My lunch was completed with a glass of low sodium vegetable juice. This shall be repeated.

Well I have to agree with everyone else. This is the best egg salad I've ever tasted. It's also the ONLY egg salad I've ever tasted. I've always been grossed out by the idea of it. but my wife wanted egg salad this past Easter to use up the eggs so I found this recipe and trusted the reviews. let's just say we all ate it with gusto - even my 3 year old. I really enjoyed this. My only alteration was to ad a pinch of kosher salt (which I'm not sure it really needed after all - might be better to add it as you eat it if you want it saltier.) I just made chicken salad using the same recipe but substituting leftover chicken for the eggs and it is also really good.
