MY FAVORITE NO-MAYO EGG SALAD
I don't like mayonnaise and so I never have it in the house. I do, however, like egg salad, and I adjusted it to make it without the mayo. Pretty close to the original but tastier and healthier! If it seems too dry, add more yogurt, 1 teaspoon at a time. Enjoy on top of toast or in a sandwich.

LITTLE MOMMA'S SIMPLE EGG SALAD
My "Little Momma" is simple in her cooking that's for sure! I was surprised when she said this is all she puts in her egg salad. And if she is making it no pepper goes in either. However, I have to include pepper so here it is. 4 ingredients and that's it. I just made this up for lunch today as I was craving an egg salad...

Steps:
- 1. Cook up your eggs, peel and slice them both ways. Slice the egg and then turn it in the slicer and slice opposite way.
- 2. Mince up 2 Tbsp of sweet onion and add to your eggs.
- 3. Add 2 Tbsp of sweet pickle relish.
- 4. Preferably Claussen cold packed sweet relish ---- one of the best pickle brands around!
- 5. Add 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise and see if you want it creamier or not. Add another tbsp if you do. Now, chill your egg salad till ready to serve.
- 6. Make your simple egg salad sandwiches.
- 7. I thought I would share a pic of my Little Momma (Jeanie) and my Dad (John). This is just last weekend for their Valentine Day celebration they went to. They are still in Florida enjoying that warm heat while we are up here in Ohio in Zero degree weather. Brrrr cold! ---She has heels on in this photo but my Little Momma is about 4'9 in height.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your egg salad shine. Look for large, fresh eggs, high-quality mayonnaise, and crisp vegetables.
- Hard-boil your eggs perfectly: Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs will be runny and unsafe to eat. For perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Then, drain the hot water and immediately run cold water over the eggs until they are cool to the touch.
- Mash your eggs with a fork, not a food processor: A food processor will over-process the eggs and make them too smooth. For a chunky, flavorful egg salad, use a fork to mash the eggs until they are broken up but still have some texture.
- Add your mix-ins: This is where you can get creative and customize your egg salad to your liking. Some popular mix-ins include celery, red onion, pickles, fresh herbs, and bacon. You can also add a dollop of Dijon mustard or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
- Season to taste: Once you've added your mix-ins, taste the egg salad and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little heat.
- Chill your egg salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad easier to spread.
Conclusion:
Egg salad is a classic dish that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is also a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the best egg salad you've ever tasted. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this Not Yo' Momma's Egg Salad recipe a try.
