EDITOR’S NOTE (September 5, 20222). I posted this recipe for the first time on May 4, 2020. Today, I updated the text to make it easier to understand and added one new photo.
Although sweet relish is a popular ingredient, I like to use sweet salad cubes. They taste like sweet relish.
Sweet Relish
The difference is the pickles are “cubed” instead of smooth and are slightly crunchy. They add a pleasant texture and pretty color.
Use your favorite pickles in this recipe. Sweet relish and sweet salad cubes are both good options.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BROWN & WHITE EGGS?
According to bestfoodfacts.org, white eggs are laid by chickens with white feathers and white ear lobes.
Brown eggs are laid by red-feathered chickens with red ear lobes. These chickens are larger in body size than white-feathered chickens. They require more feed which is why brown eggs are more expensive.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Create an appetizer by placing a scoop of egg salad on top of a Ritz cracker.
Crackers topped with homemade egg salad make a lovely presentation. Serve as an appetizer or side dish.
Homemade Egg Salad makes a savory dish or light meal. Drop a big scoop between toasted sandwich bread and enjoy as a light meal. Recipe and photography by Beverly Davis for CornbreadMillionaire.com.
