Tips on Making Egg Salad

• Remember to keep this "Eiersalat", as well as any other containing mayonnaise, cold.
• An easy way to keep it cold is to put it in a small bowl that is sitting inside a larger bowl filled with ice. Looks pretty that way as well.

• Don't like mushrooms? Omit them. 
• Want more spice? Add some. 
• Don't like mustard? Omit it. 
• Love pickles? Add them.
• There are so many different variations on the same recipe. Try it with chopped gherkins, celery, or olives. 

• Chopped nuts make for a really different treat. Minced ham, chicken, or beef are good additions as well. REALLY! Sounds strange, but it's wunderbar!
• I'll sometimes add some extra cooked egg whites and remove a couple of egg yolks. It hardly makes any difference to the final salad.
  
• Make this extra special by using your own homemade mayonnaise. It's so easy to do. Check it out here.

Eggs are such a great way to add protein to your diet. They contain not only high-quality protein, but do so for few calories. Truly a diet food!
