This article is a member of our Best of the Best series. While there are any number of recipes that may claim to be the best recipe, there can’t actually be a best recipe, The reality is that there are a lot of different variations, some recipes that will be the favorites of some individuals and some recipes that will be the favorites of other individuals.
What we’ve done here is compare and contrast several different egg salad recipes and then we developed what we call the “Best of the Best” from what the others have in common. On it’s own, it’s a good recipe; but it’s also a recipe that can be altered in any number of ways to make it something different.
