Gourmet Egg Salad Recipes Perfect for a Party or Picnic

As a child, I grew up in a large urban city, where picnics were few and far between. However, whenever I fantasized about the perfect picnic, fresh egg salad was always at the top of my list of items to include.

Rich, creamy, and comforting, the flavor of egg salad seemed to embody all the simple pleasures of the ideal picnic experience (along with perfect weather and a view of something a bit more charming than billowing smokestacks, security fences, and oil slick rainbows).

Here’s some wonderful gourmet egg salad recipes for you to take out for a test drive on your next cookout or picnic.

Enjoy!
