Fancy Deli Style Egg Salad

an egg is just an egg 

and egg salad can be pretty ho hum

this is an adaptation of egg salad that is velvety and rich 

It can be served for brunch or packed for a picnic when you want to splurge 

....wonderful with an ice cold beer too

Hard-boil 6 eggs and cook 4 (actually 5 because I always eat a slice:) 

slices 

of good quality thick bacon

 finely mince a nice shallot, about 2 tablespoons

 combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise 

1 Tbl dijon mustard

1 Tsp dried tarragon

1 Tsp vinegar

pepper to taste...salt is optional because the bacon is salty

 dice up 6 lovely hard cooked eggs and add to your mayonnaise mixture 

along with the diced bacon bits

  add a few shots of tabasco if that sounds good

 your salad should be chunky and not overly dressed 

 this is great in a wrap

 but use what you have

 finely slice some crisp iceberg lettuce and top with about 1/2 cup of egg salad

 I topped the salad with fresh pea shoots too

 roll up and enjoy!!!!

iced coffee for me please

(I drink waaaayyyy to much caffeine)
