Not Wet Egg Salad




Source of Recipe


My own, with help from folks at Chowhound.com


Recipe Introduction


I love deli egg salad. Nubby textured with no big hunks of egg, just really finely chopped up bits. And almost a dry consistency � not really dry, but dry enough to scoop up with an ice cream scoop and hold it�s shape. MY egg salad on the other hand has always been too wet. So I went to chowhound.com with an SOS. They gave me some pointers and low and behold � I made perfect egg salad!


List of Ingredients




Basic Recipe:
Hard boiled eggs
Duke�s Mayonnaise
Pepper
Mustard
Hot sauce



Recipe



Here are the tricks �

1. Add salt at the point of eating � not as you make the egg salad

2. Don�t use hot eggs. Chill them in the refrigerator before making the salad. Don�t rinse the eggs off. Make sure they are very dry.

3. Mayo, not Miracle Whip :(. And a TINY little amount!

4. Mash eggs with potato masher, not a knife.
