This was a very nice salad. The sausage gave it an interesting flavor and texture, much more interesting than plain, old egg salad :) I enjoyed this on sourdough rye bread, which made a very nice combination. Thanks for posting a new way to enjoy an old favorite!

Delicious! This made a nice lunch with crackers. I added a bit of prepared mustard. I omitted the olives because I did not have them in my pantry at the time. I will finish the rest tomorrow by making a sandwich. Great salad! Prepared as a participant in the Aus/NZ Swap #37 February 2010.

Made for your Divisional Championship Football Pool win, I opted to serve this recipe as a appy snack. True andouille sausage is very rarely found here in Iceland, so I used a med-heat grd breakfast sausage & otherwise made it as written. Then I used the mixture to make well-stuffed tortilla wraps ~ a pers fave w/my DH. I am sure it serves 4 perfectly, but there was little left after 2 of us ate heartily. I think using half the mayo amt w/an equal measure of shredded cheese might also make this work well to serve warmed & will try that. Thx for sharing this tasty recipe w/us & CONGRATS on your Football Pool win. :-)
