CREAMY NO-EGG POTATO SALAD
I don't like chopped boiled eggs in potato salad so I developed this recipe using pickles and pickle juice for tang! The fresh veggies are crunchy and delicious. Yes, there are still eggs in the mayo-based dressing but you can sub an egg-free mayo. Try it - it's yummy!

CREAMY TUNA & EGG SALAD
I was hungry for egg salad but wanted it to have a bit more omphf and some more protein to last in my gut, so I added tuna. I have both mayo and miracle whip in the recipe just in case some don't like the tang of miracle whip, so it tones it down somewhat.

- Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Let the salad chill before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to become more creamy.
