I never liked egg salad growing up until I discovered wasabi mayo and left out the crunch-my mom used celery, another reason I never liked it. —GreasySpoon

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 4 Hard boiled eggs
  • 2 slices smoked salmon
  • 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
Directions
  1. Peel 4 chilled hard boiled eggs into a 4 cup bowl and mash with the back of a serving fork. Roll one slice of smoked salmon and using kitchen shears snip into little bits over the mashed eggs. Repeat with the other slice. Add 2 tablespoons of home-made or store bought mayo and a scant teaspoon of wasabi paste and mix all. Serve on toast rounds or as a sandwich for a brown bag lunch. You will need to adjust both the wasabi and the mayo to your taste: less mayo for a more dry mix and less wasabi for a less spicy mix.

I am also in the raw celery hater camp. I'm going to try your egg salad.
