Cool-n-Crunchy Egg Salad

This cool-n-crunchy egg salad definitely stands out from the crowd. It’s not quite your traditional egg salad. But it’s not so different enough that it’d scare people off at your next family get-together. Chopped carrots add a nice crunch to the salad. Using cream cheese and only a bit of mayonnaise makes the salad a little thicker than your standard egg salad. It’s rather tasty good as a salad, and would be just as excellent on sandwiches or crackers.

One Fantastic Egg Salad

I found the original recipe for this Cool-n-Crunchy Egg Salad over at the Louisiana Egg Commission’s website. It’s a real winner of a dish and something we make often. So hat’s off to the Egg Commission! Thank you!

Also try my more traditional egg salad, perfect on hot dogs or sandwiches.
