"On a hot day in Virginia, I know nothing more comforting than a fine spiced pickle, brought up trout-like from the sparkling depths of the aromatic jar below the stairs of Aunt Sally's cellar."
-Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Farmer

The refrigerator light goes on...

Yes, you can eat egg salad. The variations I will leave up to you. My brother loves Heinz India Relish and I like capers. I will also say that I have tried this recipe both with the reduced-fat mayonnaise and the non-fat and it makes little difference in flavor.

Egg salad will keep well for 48 hours if kept refrigerated.

3 quarts water
8 large eggs
1/2 cup celery
1/2 cup sweet gherkin pickle
3 Tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

Place 3 quarts water in a medium sized pot over high heat.

When the water is at a full boil place the eggs in the pot and cook at a full boil for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water and place in cold water. After about 2 minutes the eggs will be easy to peel.

Slice the cooked eggs in half and throw away four of the yolks.

Coarsely chop the cooked egg whites. Add them to a mixing bowl with four egg yolks and the diced celery, diced pickle, mayonnaise, pepper and salt.

Fold together gently and chill at least one hour.
