A flavor packed version of egg salad. Perfect for Easter lunches.
By Nicole Criss
I decorated Easter eggs last week with my toddler for the first time. It’s fun now that he’s old enough to take part in traditions, especially when it involves playing with food. He wanted to eat one (luckily we had used natural dyes) and I realized that for kids without allergies, hard boiled eggs are a great on-the-go snack. Then I looked at the other 11 colored eggs and remembered how much I love egg salad. I dreamt up this version, incorporating a few of my favorite bold flavors: lemon, mustard and dill. Now you know what to do with all those left over hardboiled eggs! Even if you don’t celebrate Easter, this is a refreshing take on egg salad that brings springtime onto your plate.
