What a fabulous addition to an egg salad is the tahini! I found this much more flavoursome than the alternatives of mayonnaise or sour cream in most other egg salad recipes. Except for omitting the water, I made this exactly to the recipe, and wouldn't change a thing. Thank you, Engrossed, for sharing this superb - and as with all your recipes that I've made - so very different recipe! I'll be making this often during the summer months.

I added red onion to the salad. As shocking as this may sound, I missed the mayo. I think next time I would add a seasoning such as sumac or one of the regional herb/spice blends. Served over mixed greens. For N*A*M*E tag. cg

Nothing ordinary about this egg salad! It's garlicky, and lemony and delicious! I didn't use the water; I didn't think it needed it. Loved the fresh parsley. It'd love to try fresh cilantro sometime. Thanx for posting this. Loved it!

This was nice, the tahini gives a nice creaminess to the dish, I think it still needs a little bite so would add chopped green onions if making again. Thanks Engrossed!
