Love egg salad! I love mayo in deviled eggs, egg salad and potato salad. Do not like Miracle Whip. My husband is a Miracle Whip lover and I tried to like it, but it changes all the dishes to bitter instead of sweet. I will stick with mayo in all these items. This is a great egg salad! Hellmann's is the best mayo out of all that I have tried! Love the sweet flavor! Thanks for a great recipe!

OK, I received a "ProTip" a short while ago that I'm going to share here. Keep in mind that the time spent cooking the eggs are diffferent depending on your altitude but.... Place a steamer basket in a large pot and fill with water to just below the basket. Bring to a boil. Once a boil has started, put your eggs in the basket (be careful, you don't want a steam burn). Put the lid back on and continue to cook for 15 minutes. Once done, immerse the eggs in an ice bath and cool. You will have the most perfect hard boiled eggs and they will be INCREDIBLY EASY to peel! Give it a shot!
