Ah, yummy egg salad! Perfect on crackers. Or as a sandwich. Or, on a hot dog! Yes, trust me. It’s fantastic! The coolness really contrasts the hot all-beef dogs. Believe it or not, I made this egg salad just for topping my deli hot dogs.
When I am feeling particularly adventurous, I roast eggs on my Char-Broil Big Easy. It’s easy, and makes for a great salad. If I’m feeling doubly adventurous I’ll use smoked eggs.
I don’t recommend using light mayonnaise when making this or any mayonnaise-based salad for that matter. Grab the real stuff. For me, that’s Duke’s.
Also try my cool-n-crunchy egg salad for a different twist to the classic.
