This turned out very well. I didn't add the cheese. That might be great, I don't know. I added sliced black olives. Made a batch to serve on Saltines when my kid gets home from school. He doesn't care much for the easy microwave snacks I could pick up at grocery. store. This he loves. Thanks for recipe!

This is my new favorite egg salad. I didn't include the cheese, and it was still delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
