“Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of our deeds, they would be too many to declare. . .” Psalm 40:5

Southern Egg Salad is the perfect salad to serve if you are looking for a quick but delicious salad.  Just a few ingredients, that most likely you already have in your refrigerator, and just minutes from beginning to end.  

I usually make egg salad when I’m making finger sandwiches for a Bridal or Baby shower or ladies luncheon and I always get rave reviews!  What’s great about Southern Egg Salad is you can make it right away or make it now and serve it later.  And what’s even better is that it is easy to double or triple the recipe. 

 Easter is another great time to make Southern Egg Salad since a lot of the time you have extra “Easter Eggs” hanging about.  And what a colorful salad it would be using the extra dyed eggs!   Two treats with one egg!!!

Give Southern Egg Salad a try the next time you are looking for something simple for oh so satisfying.

Mama Fawn’s Tips:

•  Use the best ingredients you can afford for this simple salad.  
• Follow the directions on how to boil the egg and you will always have the perfect hard boil egg.  I let the eggs sit for the full 20 minutes but if you like a softer cooked egg then do closer to 15 minutes.
• If your eggs have a greenish gray tint around the egg, you cooked your eggs too long.  Nothing is wrong with them except they don’t look too appetizing.  It doesn’t affect the flavor.
• Don’t have pickle relish?  Then chop up some dill or sweet pickles.
• Feel free to substitute dijon mustard for the yellow mustard if desired, but then I wouldn’t necessarily consider the egg salad ‘southern’ though.   😉
• Serve this salad on any kind of bread or cracker for a yummy lunch.
