What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Uplifting Aromas: Another Egg Salad Recipe! Just what you need…….another way to make egg salad at home. What’s the mystery, you ask, rolling your eyes and shaking your head from side to side. Well sometimes those extra calories in mayonnaise can blow up a diet, if you know what I mean. Besides, I’m a huge fan of olive oil and fresh basil to make a dish flavorful. Sweet vidalia onions are a nice compromise to its distant cousin, the purplish-red onions, so you choose which way to go. Fair warning, though, this scaled down version of egg salad won’t stick together like glue. You’re better off eating it with a fork, spooning it onto a bed of baby spinach leaves, or scooping it off the plate onto a multigrain cracker.
ANOTHER EGG SALAD RECIPE
Ingredients:
4 hard boiled eggs, cooked and chopped
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
2 stems fresh basil leaves, snipped
Instructions:
In a serving bowl, combine chopped hard boiled eggs and sweet onion pieces. Drizzle olive oil over all. Sprinkle Himalayan sea salt to taste. Add fresh basil snips. Gently toss and serve.
Thank you, Gail, for using eggs as I love them!

I wish. The HOA wouldn’t allow it, Joanna. However, I may be able to find someone locally who sells fresh eggs. 🥚

I’ve never added sweet onions but it makes sense.
