Egg Salad
Three eggs boiled hard but not green: diced
Some mayonnaise. How much? Enough
Chopped celery.
Salt
Pepper
Half teaspoon dry mustard
Herbs, preferably fresh but dry will do in a pinch: basil, parsley, dill, cilantro
cumin, annatto powder, pimiento
In a large enough bowl, mix eggs, celery, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Drop in your herbs and spices. TASTE IT. Is it good? Yes? Put on toast with lettuce and/or sliced tomato.
Does it need something? How about capers? Tiny hunks of soft cheese? Bacon bits? Minced prosciutto? Diced orange pepper?
Now is it good? Good. Eat that!
