We are fortunate to have friends that supply us with fresh eggs, and what a treat. I discovered this egg salad recipe in the Silver Palate Cookbook almost 40 years ago. This is truly the best I have ever tasted, and the only version I make. Wonderful served on Ciabatta rolls (found in the Walmart bakery department). Enjoy!

4 years ago By Wendy Wright

Last week I was offered a remote position that would allow me to work from home until I could sell my house. I could not pass it up. So, now, I must say my goodbyes.
