Growing up, my grandmother use to make egg salad almost every Sunday after church. It was her way of whipping up something quick to keep all of the kids out of the kitchen while she prepared a huge Sunday dinner. No matter how much I try I can NEVER replicate the taste of her classic egg salad sandwiches but this version does just fine in my house.
This egg salad is creamy, chunky, easy, and seasoned just the way I like it. I use to prefer it between a buttery bakery croissant or fluffy Sunbeam white bread, but as I’ve gotten older I’m starting to prefer it with hearty whole grain wheat bread (yep I’m definitely getting old)
I love how simple and nostalgic this recipe is. It’s such a comforting classic.

Instructions

Notes
Top with red onions, lettuce and tomato if desired.
Flavors will intensify as the egg salad chill. I usually just eat mines warm though.
Serve with red grapes and chips!

Girl, this is the first time in 40 years cooking has become exciting and fun, because I know the outcome will be Delicious. Thanks Monique 🙂
