Delightful egg salad! I made this for my lunch today, and it exceeded my expectations. I made it almost exactly as posted except for two things. First of all, I misunderstood and mixed in the pimiento with all the other ingredients, instead of using it as a garnish. Next, I didn't know what was meant by hot mustard - was it prepared or dry? I thought maybe by the small amount that it was dry, but I didn't have that. So I used 2 packets of the hot mustard I got with my Chinese take-out. It actually didn't really add heat, but a nice depth of flavor. I will definitely be making this again! Made for Culinary Quest 2014.

Love egg salad, and this is a good one. I think I'll scale back on the garlic, maybe it's just a flavour I'm not used to in egg salad, but I did find it overpowering...just a smidge from now on. Upped the mustart significantly. Spread on black bread. Dee-lish.

This was bad, I am sorry to say. Eggs are already bland, so the sauce must have lots of flavor and this sauce didn't. Mayo has flavor, but by adding sour cream, lessens the taste. Hot mustard, there is no such thing in my grocery stores, so I added Dijon with one shake of cayenne. I added one small clove of garlic, didn't want it to overpower the flavor. All in all, it was super bland, even with the pimentos. I think where this recipe went wrong was the sour cream, maybe add just a tablespoon, no more. I won't be making this again.

I love trying different egg salads and this recipe didn't disappoint in the least. We had it in sandwiches and I was taking sneak spoonfuls, which is always a habit with me when making egg salad. It's the perfect dish to make during the busy gardening season (and it's what I've been making for many years), as it comes together, lickety-split! Thank you for sharing, Lavender Lynn. Made it for FYC.

The hubby loves egg salad so made this one for him. I did use onion and garlic powder instead of fresh and dijon mustard. It was a bit runny so I added a couple more eggs and adjusted the seasoning. He ate it over the weekend so I had to make more for him to take for lunch, This one is a keeper! Made and reviewed for the FYC tag game.
