I usually just make egg salad with diced eggs and minced onions and celery and mix into mayo with mustard and vinegar. Sometimes I add Old Bay or Paprika. I just saw Valerie Parr Hill's take on egg salad on FB. I LOVE dill pickles, but I'm wondering if I could still add the onion and celery with the pickles.I may try this for Memorial Day. Here's her post:

There’s nothing like a good egg salad. I’m always trying different ingredients when I make a batch. This recipe is by far our favorite. The secret is in the seasonings!

Egg Salad Secrets

Dozen Eggs

Half jar of Dill pickles dices (I used the stackers because they are so much easier to dice than round pickles).

My grocery store carries the Braswells Dill Pickle Mustard but easy to mimic with dill pickle relish and mustard.

Mayo or mayo substitute.

Celery salt and pepper to taste.

Chill before serving on avocado half, lettuce, tomato, or….

Enjoy!

Thoughts?

i am sure it is delicious. i have never seen dill pickle mustard, but will have to look for it.

i use dill pickle juice instead of vinegar, no pickles though.

i dont add celery, but i do add celery seed.

mayo, mustard, freshly ground sea salt and black pepper.

I have always used dill pickles and mustard in our eggs since none of us care for sweet pickles.

NO sort of pickles or relish in egg salad, ever.

Im sure you could use onion and celery in it.  I use onion but not celery and dill relish, not the pickles.

Sounds like a deviled egg recipe to me.  For egg salad I just use eggs, mayo, salt and pepper.

I prefer sweet pickles in my egg salad, and I don't think I'd want mustard in there.  To each his own.

@Imaoldhippie  The more I think about it, celery wouldn't be necessary for crunch because there are minced pickles. So, I could leave that out. Thinking....
