Notes

    • Use 3 large eggs or 4 smaller eggs.
    • Grating the eggs takes this old fashioned egg salad up a notch.
    • I like to use the fine shred side of a boxed grater; however, some larger pieces of egg whites might fall into the bowl. I pick these and eat them as a chef's kiss. This will keep your egg salad spread smooth in texture.
    • A coarse sieve will also work. Press the hard cooked eggs through the sieve into a bowl.
