Egg Salad with Dill Pickles

(20)

Recipe Intro From lisathompson

Here's my favorite egg salad recipe! I love to use a wire cooling rack to help speed up my prep and make uniform pieces. I use both dijon and whole grain mustard for a kick and my secret ingredients- dill pickles and pickle juice! This flexible recipe allows for you to use as much (or as little) mayonnaise as you like, just taste and adjust seasoning and condiments as you go.
