I make a really simple egg salad all the time when I'm craving it:
2 boiled eggs
Some mayo (I don't know how much, just eyeball it so that when you mix it with the chopped boiled eggs it makes a nice smooth texture)
One chopped dill pickle spear (I like Klausen or however the hell it's spelled).
One chopped small onion.
About 1-2 TBS pickle juice (I learned this trick from my mom and it works great in egg salad, chicken salad and tuna salad)
About, uh...1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
1-maybe 2? tsp chopped garlic
Mix it all up and YUM.
Sorry, I suck at recipes. I used to get SO MAD at my mother when I asked her for a recipe and she'd say, "I don't know, just eyeball it!" Come to find out she used to get mad at her mother for telling her the same thing. Now I understand why they say it. Just play with it until you get something that tastes good. Go easy with the mayo and pickle juice until you get it right. It's easy to add too much.
