I scaled this back for 2 eggs (1 serve) and for 2 Roma tomatoes and served on lettuce from the garden. It made for a very filling lunch, next time for me I would only use 1 Roma and have the extra egg on the side, maybe wrapping in the extra lettuce leafs. thank you Debbwl, made for Make My Recipe Edition 11.

My coworker, Sue, gave me some wonderful roma tomatoes fresh from her garden. They were perfect for this recipe! I really liked how the egg yolks are still slightly soft and the crunch of the cucumber was a nice touch too. The only change I made was to use spinach instead of watercress, which I couldn't find. Made for Everyday's a Holiday tag game. Thanks Debbwl! :) And Sue! :)

I liked everything about this salad; the mix of ingredients and the flavours. I love my tomatoes and did not want to remove the filling, so I chopped up the tomatoes instead and served the egg mixture on top. Very filling and delicious.

I love egg salad! IMO, there is no bad egg salad just better ones. The only gripe about this egg salad is that the red onion overpowered the egg salad. I would leave it out next time or add a bit of yellow onion. Loved the cucumbers! Debbwl, there hasn't been a recipe of yours that I haven't enjoyed:)

I really enjoyed having a change from plain egg salad with just mayonnaise. The mustard was a particularly nice addition and this was much enjoyed. Personally though, I'm not too keen on raw red onion so will probably use spring onion next time to soften the flavour. Thanks Debbwl!
