Egg salad recipes seem to be another one of those “personal preference” types of recipes. They can be slightly sloppy, slightly dry, well seasoned, made with mayonnaise, mustard or maybe without. I prefer mine a little sloppy, and seasoned similar to a deviled egg. Maybe this should be called “deviled egg salad?”
