"I have no idea where I found this recipe; but it is delicious. I did add a couple of extra touches, and it is a keeper. I actually had some homemade ricotta I was looking to use up; and, this was what I found. A simple - yet lighter egg salad. I served mine in lettuce cups for a light dinner with a bowl of soup. But, it would be delicious as a sandwich, or served with your favorite crackers."

Step 1
Eggs ... Cook your eggs anyway you like. I usually add mine to a pot of cold water, bring to a boil for 2 minutes; then, turn off the heat and cover for 12 minutes. You can even buy hard boiled eggs at most grocery stores too these days; if you don't have time to make them. Once the eggs are cooked, peeled, and chopped; transfer them into a small bowl.
Step 2
Salad ... Simply add all the other ingredients (pimentos being optional) to the eggs; and, mix to combine. Season to taste.
Step 3
Serve and ENJOY! ... On bread, in a lettuce leaf, crackers, crostini, pita, etc. It is also great served with celery too.
