The Best Egg Salad Sandwich Ever

I am somewhat of an egg sandwich authority.  I’ve made hundreds of egg salad sandwiches in the fifty some years I’ve been cooking.  It was a go to sandwich when my kids were younger because I always had the ingredients on hand and it didn’t take a lot of work or a lot of pots to wash later.

Usually I just hard boil some eggs, add a little mayo, maybe some onion and chopped pickle and call it good.  Every once in a while, however, I pull out all the stops and make this version, which if I do say so myself, is the very best egg salad sandwich recipe in the world!

I like egg salad really chunky on plain white bread or pumpernickel with a diet coke.  It’s my version of a comfort lunch.

It’s also good on fancy crackers as an appetizer.  I hope you love it!

    OMG I am SO making this!! I love egg salad and somehow I knew that you’d have tarragon in it because I’d add that too. Will let you know how I go!
