Ingredients:

Serving

2 hard-boiled eggs
2 -3 tbsp good quality mayonnaise (best foods , hellman's, or vegenaise)
1 tbsp dried onion flakes (see note )
1/4-1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp grated dill pickles
your favorite curry powder, to taste (but oh so good with it!) (optional)
tabasco sauce , to taste (optional)
salt & freshly ground black pepper , to taste

Directions:

Remove the shells from the hard boiled eggs; discard shells.
Chop the eggs to the texture you prefer with a knife or pastry-cutter.
In a bowl, combine the chopped eggs and the remaining ingredients and stir well.
Eat on a sandwich right away or chill for about an hour and eat later.
Note: I use the dried minced onion specifically because they have a really nice crunchy texture that adds a lot to egg salad! If you like, you can substitute fresh onion, but the dried really is very nice.
Note #2: I always put a little curry powder in my egg salad, just as I put it in my deviled eggs (see Julie's Deviled Eggs), and it’s wonderful! Other additions/substitutions you can make to egg salad include: celery seed, yellow mustard, sweet relish, pesto, chopped roasted red and yellow bell pepper, chopped sundried tomato, chopped artichoke heart.
