THE EGGS

My Smooth Hard Boiled Eggs are perfect for making Homemade Egg Salad.

USE SWEET RELISH OR SWEET SALAD CUBES

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. 

Enjoy!
