{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} WINNING RECIPE: CREAMY EGG SALAD

 

CREAMY EGG SALAD

https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/creamy-egg-salad 

I love the versatility of egg salad, especially with this recipe. You can serve it on a nest of mixed greens, tucked into a sandwich or with your favorite crisp crackers. —Cynthia Kohlberg, Syracuse, Indiana

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 10 minutes.

YIELD: 6 servings

Ingredients

3 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup finely chopped green or sweet red pepper

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

1/4 cup sweet pickle relish

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

8 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped

 

Directions

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt and pepper until smooth. Stir in green pepper, celery, relish and parsley. Fold in eggs. Refrigerate, covered, until serving. 

Test Kitchen Tips

Sub a 4-ounce jar of pimientos for the finely chopped pepper, and add 1/2 cup of finely grated sharp cheddar cheese for a heartier take on a Southern classic.

Freshen this recipe from your summer garden by using dill instead of (or in addition to) the parsley. Remember, dill packs quite a punch, so 2 teaspoons instead of 2 tablespoons should do it.

{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} (Memorial Day) CREAMY PEA SALAD

 

Creamy Pea Salad

Prep Time 10 min.  Cook Time 0 min. Serves 8-10    

This Creamy Pea Salad is a nice change from the typical potato or pasta salads found at barbecues and potlucks. It requires very little cooking with just a little bit of chopping and mixing – it could easily be a no-cook recipe if you buy precooked bacon! It doesn't get much easier than that!

Ingredients

  • 2 pkg. (16 oz. each) frozen peas, thawed and drained
  • 1/2-1 cup diced Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2-1 cup diced Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 cup Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until serving.
