2. Country Egg Salad: Now eggs, for instance, are a great source of protein but also fairly high in cholesterol and fat (in their defense; they’re also packed with vitamins!). But if you look at this way: if eating an egg or two gives you a more satisfied feeling over a longer period of time, chances are you won’t be raiding the fridge or attacking the cookie jar shortly after, right? The mayonnaise is just there to balance things out a bit. So is the cheese! Honestly! Recipe from Kayotic Kitchen.

9. Mini Bacon & Egg Salad Sandwich: What makes this recipe a little different is the crisp bacon pieces and celery. It’s a great balance of flavor that also gives the mini sandwiches a nice crunch. Plus, you can’t deny the cuteness factor of making them mini. Recipe from Culinary Cory.

11. ‘Fancy’ Egg Salad a Mother Would Love: My grandmother gave her a very basic egg salad recipe made with onions, mayo, hardboiled eggs and a pinch of salt. My mom got “crazy” and added parsley. Her mother didn’t approve because parsley was too fancy for egg salad. Years later after my mother had pretty much stopped cooking, I’d bring her my version dressed up with even fancier ingredients. She knew her mother wouldn’t have approved — but she did. Recipe found at The New York Times.
12. Egg Salad Sandwich (the only one I’ll eat) Recipe: I saw Quyen’s tasty looking egg salad sandwich and it showed me that a sandwich made of hard-boiled eggs can be appetizing to both the eye and the taste buds. I thought about it for a few days and came up with a game plan for my own that went something like this. Recipe found at 101 Cookbooks.
