A great way to use pesto besides just serving it on pasta! How boring does that get, right? This pesto egg salad can be made spicy by adding a splash of hot sauce. It's also amazing with finely chopped giardiniera (mixed vegetables). Serve on crackers, cocktail rye, or use to top a summer salad.

This pesto egg salad is so good! It's creamy and flavorful, and the pesto adds a really nice touch. I also love the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes. They add a bit of sweetness and chewiness that really complements the eggs.
