No trouble putting this fine salad together! It all came together to total perfection, and it's a shame I didn't make more. This recipe really tastes terrific, even better the next day on some crackers. Thanks so much!

I regret halving the recipe this is so good. I made it exactly as written and the combination of spices (I used a fresh jalapeno) and seasonings was utter perfection. This is my new egg salad recipe. The only tip I would give is to let it sit for a half hour in the fridge to meld the flavors.
