I love egg salad…except when it has a lot of celery (crunch!) in it.

Mar, I add crunch by alternating bites of egg salad sandwich with bites of Chex Mix . . .

Lydia has such a great blog; it’s very nice to see her profiled. But Lydia – no cauliflower?? I hated it too until I started roasting at 500F with olive oil and salt until it is a little brown around the edges but still a little crispy. It completely changed my mind. And roasted cauliflower with dukkah? Addictively good. If you haven’t tried it that way, you might be surprised at how good it is!

Very fun. I do adore Lydia, but I must have mayo in my egg salad, no doubt about it!

Fantastic interview. Hopefully your S.O. reads it so you can get more breakfast in bed.

Everyone – especially my Dad – seems love egg salad but me! I must be missing something. I think it lacks…crunch. I haven’t really made a lot of egg salad. Can I add nuts and stuff?

Thanks Lydia! Glad to have you. But about that pizza…
