KAMPFIRE KOOKIN’ WILD THANGS

THE EGG AND I

This is not a ‘wild thangs’ kind of recipe; it’s just that I’m ‘wild’ about egg salad and I thought I’d share my recipe with you. If you have too many boiled eggs left over like we did then you’ll want to do something with those eggs quickly. Here’s what you do, make egg salad and I guarantee it won’t go to waste.

WILD EGG SALAD
4 hard boiled eggs
2 tbsp. mayonnaise
1& 1/2 tsp. prepared yellow mustard
2 tsp. vinegar or lemon juice
1 & 1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt or to taste
1 rib celery (minced)
2 tsp. pickle relish
A sprinkling of paprika

Place hard boiled eggs in a bowl and mash until completely chopped up. Add all ingredients except paprika. Blend ingredients together. This is better if chilled for a while before serving.

Serve on bread as a sandwich spread or on lettuce as a salad.
Sprinkle with paprika for color.

Have more than 4 eggs left over?

Make a double or triple batch and share with the neighbors. Invite them over and have them bring their favorite crackers. Enjoy the get together with a snack party; music optional.
