I love a good creamy egg salad, lots of mayonnaise dill pickle, mustard and soft white bread. Can I get a hell yeah?!? Somewhere along the line I ate a few too many egg salad sandwiches like that. Too good to stop apparently. I have found a way to enjoy egg salad again, no nasty fat free mayo or other disgusting fillers. Just good honest egg salad, lots of flavor and good for you.

Thanks for hosting! This egg salad looks great! I've been looking for a mayonaise-less recipe!

Walnut and apple in egg salad really different. Thanks for the party.

This is great. I love the idea of adding apples and walnuts and making it more like a waldorf egg salad. I do this with chicken salad but hadnt thought to try it with egg. Great! Thanks!

Your egg salad looks amazing!! I make a very similar salad with chicken. I LOVE using apple in there (especially a nice tart one). Hope you had a great weekend. Thank you for hosting.
