If you like egg salad, you will love this easy recipe.
I started making this recipe when I lived in Atlanta years ago.
I was a caterer and did many luncheons for bridal and baby showers as well as office parties.
Egg salad was always on the menu for a luncheon.
I got this recipe from a neighbor of mine who made it for me while we were sitting in her apartment and chatting. She whipped it up in no time at all.
I loved it so much, I asked her for the recipe right then and there.
After that, I started to make it for many of my catering events.
Now, I make it all the time for my family and when we have company over for brunch.
