Egg salad with fresh herbs is the perfect way to utilize the abundance of eggs during the season, and celebrate the flavors of spring.
If you’ve ever raised laying hens, then you know the joys of the spring egg-pocolypse. It’s so egg-citing! The longer days & warmer weather leads to an eggs-treme abundance of eggs. An egg-splosion, if you will.
It’s a blessing to have such a bounty, but I can only handle so many omelets. As the days get warmer, I don’t want large, heavy meals. Egg salad is a perfect way to use up all of the egg-cess, and fresh herbs really brighten up the flavors!

Bring 12 eggs to hard boil, turn off heat, cover pot. Leave for 20 minutes. Then run cold water, add a little ice, if you like and let sit for a couple of minutes or five, Put into large mixing bowl, and mash with potato masher. Add mayo, apple cider vinegar, mustard, pickle relish, or sometimes just the juice from them, salt, pepper, onion pwd., paprika, mix together well, til spreading consistency. Enjoy. It really takes practice to get them tasty!
