I thought I would share a sunset picture over the snow in hopes that it is the last one for a while! (Mariah)
With the blizzard from last week behind us, let’s think spring! The nicer temperatures (I saw 50 degrees forecasted for this week!) have been so welcome. Just the sun itself feels so good after a long winter. So, as I am sitting here in my favorite spot writing, I want to shift my focus from winter and bring you a recipe for something light, and perfect for a spring or summer lunch, Egg Salad. I hope you like egg salad! There are so many ways to make it. I like bigger pieces of egg, a mustardy sauce and lots of pickle…so you add pickle and then add some more. 🙂 When things get busy on the farm, I love egg salad as a quick, light meal. You probably won’t believe me but our kids like it, too, which makes it a win, win. My little girl especially likes the pickles in it. I thought I would share a sunset picture over the snow in hopes that it is the last one for a while! We are about 1 month away from chicks coming to the farm! Did you know that you can get chicks in the mail? A true definition of happy mail. 😉
Egg Salad
8 eggs, boiled
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 T. mustard
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp salt
8-10 baby dill pickles
First, boil your eggs. In a medium saucepan put 8 eggs on the bottom of the pan and add water to cover and sprinkle a little salt in. Next, bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once it is boiling turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid. Let it sit for 17 minutes. While you wait for that you can mix up the mayonnaise, mustard, pepper, salt and pickles in a medium bowl, set aside in fridge. When the eggs are done, rinse in cold water a couple of times and then peel the eggs. Once the eggs are peeled you can do a rough chop with a knife. Usually, I will cut them in half lengthwise and then cut them three times the other direction. Put the eggs in the bowl with the sauce, stir it up and it is ready! Serve with bread, crackers, fruit and chips for a quick and light meal.
