ISO: Not Your Mother's Egg Salad

[BlueMoose]

Well, MAYBE your mother's egg salad....

Does anyone have different/interesting egg salad sandwich recipes to share?

TIA,
Chrisi :cool:

Weeeeelllll, for a change, I would put chopped pickled jalapenos instead of relish and serve it in a tortilla:)


oops, forgot to mention, I would also season it with cumin!

How about substituting tofu for the eggs? I don't have a recipe but maybe someone else does. It is very good that way.

Actually, I do tend to make egg salad using half tofu and half eggs. I guess I'm looking for something a little "exotic" :eek:

What do you think about this? Throw in to the eggs and tofu a little (light) mayo, some chopped cukes, chopped greek olives, a little feta, maybe a splash of lemon juice, and top it with fresh tomato slices and spinach leaves. (This would be on bread)

I tried this recipe from Food 911 on the Food Network and thought it was very good:

Place the tofu in a mixing bowl and mash with a wooden spoon. Mix in the remaining ingredients and combine well. Chill slightly, then serve on a bed of mixed greens or as a sandwich.

I make a kind of "upscale" egg salad with hard boiled eggs, chopped avacodo, drained rinsed capers, mayo, sour cream and a little dijon mustard. It's not all that exotic, but boy is it good! I have even used it as a chunky dip with bread sticks.

Hope you enjoy it!

I like using strained yoghurt instead of mayo, add chopped green onions and curry. It makes for a lively sandwich, particularly good on rye with spinach or chard.
