For years now, I've been indifferent to egg salad. Yes, I would eat a couple of egg salad finger sandwiches here or there but to actually say that I liked them wouldn't be accurate. It was more like I tolerated them and ate them because someone had put forth the effort to make them.
But, last Christmas, I changed my attitude towards egg salad. My aunt had made a very simple egg salad using eggs, mayo, mustard, and dill pickle relish. I know this is the standard ingredients used in egg salad - nothing special. But, for some reason, I enjoyed them for the first time. Tolerance turned into acceptance which then turned to affection. I ate them and loved them. The next time she made them, I was there...eating and loving.
So, when I saw this recipe in Gooseberry Patch's Big Book of Home Cooking, I paused for a moment. Hmmm...I flipped through a few more pages then returned to it. Hmmm...My husband flipped through the cookbook, too, offering up his unsolicited opinion on what I should prepare. He, too, lingered on Mark's Egg Salad so I decided to make it.
