Agency staff shared their favorite variations - Enjoy!

  • Add curry powder to the mayo, maybe some cayenne, and some crunchy things like cucumber, scallions, pickled red onion, arugula.
  • Add chopped olives and feta cheese
  • Use capers and celery (chopped very small) along with the mayo and mustard
  • Skip the mustard and dill, add sweet pickle relish to taste.
  • Use mayo, yellow mustard, and sweet relish. The real magic happens in the process, which is to mix the mustard and mayo with the yolks similar to making deviled eggs. So basically, the egg salad becomes deviled eggs mixed in a bowl with sweet pickle relish. 
  • Mayo, eggs, chopped pickles, dash pickle juice, tiny dash maple syrup, pepper, tiny dash paprika
  • Add capers and fresh tarragon and if feeling very rich, add a slice of really good smoked salmon or trout.
