I like it simple: Just a little mayo a little mustard and afew teaspoons of sweet relish
6 boiled eggs, add mayo, mustard, and fresh chopped celery. I think 1/4 cup of each should do it. A really good cook wouldnt need to measure any of this, just make it look like egg salad, you cant miss. Kraft.com has some good recipes for all kinds of stuff. Good luck.

How can you go wrong with a web site called the Egg Salad Gourmet. These are a couple of my fav's from the site.





Smoked Salmon and Sun-Dried Tomato Egg Salad





Now we’ve arrived at my favorite recipe (mostly because I love smoked salmon) but this egg salad is just the perfect topper on a mixed salad for lunch or even for a light dinner. This is a classy, gourmet foods concoction and if you make it for company I’m quite certain you will impress the friends and family.





Someone described this to me recently as egg salad for grown-ups, and yes, I have to agree! It also is a lovely cracker spread (especially nice on rice crackers, which could also make this a gluten-free snack.)





4 Hard-boiled Eggs, peeled and chopped


1/3 cup Light Mayonnaise


2 ounces Smoked Salmon, diced


1 medium Shallot, finely minced


1 Celery Stalk (no end or leaves), finely chopped


1 tablespoon Sun-Dried Tomatoes, finely chopped


1 teaspoon Sherry Vinegar


1/8 teaspoon Paprika


1 teaspoon Fresh Dill, chopped


1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, finely chopped


To taste: Salt %26amp; Freshly Ground Black Pepper (about 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of each)





Instructions:


In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, shallot, vinegar, tomatoes, paprika and dill. Add the rest of the ingredients, half of the parsley and mix well. Season to taste with salt %26amp; pepper. Garnish with the rest of the parsley or a little extra chopped sun-dried tomato.





Chill for at least two hours before serving to help the flavors combine.

Bacon %26amp; Horseradish Egg Salad





This salad alone can convince the person who never eats egg salad that egg salad is tasty after all. (It convinced my family anyway!) This is my husband’s favorite recipe – he even eats seconds.





Adjust the amount of horseradish to your personal taste. Make sure you drain the horseradish well, as you don’t want the egg salad to get runny. This recipe also benefits from an hour or two in the fridge before you eat it to let the flavors blend. Occasionally for a treat I add an extra slice of bacon as an open-faced topper on toast.
