Easter Egg Salad Recipes
By Brenda Hyde

We all color more Easter eggs than we need - after all, what kid can dye 3 or 4 and call it enough? Today I have some egg salad recipes to try this year. OR you could color your eggs at Grandma's house and leave her with at least one of the dozen. Just be sure to leave her some recipes too!

Bread Ideas: homemade white or wheat, pita breads, buns of all types, or bagels. Serve it in a bread bowl and surround it with crackers for something different!
Any of these recipes also make nice tea sandwiches. Spread on slices of bread that you've trimmed off the crust and cut into squares or triangles.

Dilled Egg Salad
Ingredients:
8 eggs, hard boiled
1 tablespoon mayonnaise-light or regular

2 tsp. fresh dill, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 red onion, finely minced
salt and pepper to taste

Peel and chop the eggs. In a large bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, dill, paprika, onion, salt and pepper. Mix well with a fork or wooden spoon.

Sweet Pickle Egg Salad

8 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet pickle

Spicy Egg Salad
Ingredients:
8 eggs, hard-boiled and peeled

Combine all ingredients except the onion, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mash well or leave a little chunky if you wish. Stir in onion. Taste, then season with the salt and pepper.
