Egg Salad Recipe on Bread

There are three things, in my opinion, that are great about holidays. 

  1. Building memories and enjoying the holiday with family
  2. Leftovers – ham and eggs always seem to be plentiful after Easter
  3. Common ingredients like eggs are always on sale during the holiday

While coloring eggs for Easter is a tradition that most families enjoy, what in the world do you do with all those eggs? 

Well, make this egg salad recipe, of course. 

Egg Salad on Plate with Tomatoes

When you think of egg salad, I bet you think of an egg salad sandwich, most of us do. And while I love a good sandwich, I’ve also grown to love a healthy bowl or plate of fresh ingredients. 

The easy egg salad recipe is the star here, however adding simple fresh ingredients make it taste even better, and it’s also great to change things up once in awhile. 

To serve along side of the best egg salad recipe, add cherry tomatoes (I like the heirloom varieties), lettuce, avocado, red onions and crackers.
