9. 9

   To assemble the egg salad:

10. 10

    Toast bread, if desired.

11. 11

    Chop peeled egg with knife and then mash with fork OR process in mini-chopper. I like my cooked egg white to be very finely chopped, mashed really.

    Add splashes of red wine vinegar to taste.

14. 14

    Mix to bind.

18. 18

    Add freshly ground pepper if desired.

19. 19

    Add salt if you think it needs it.

20. 20

    This is better chilled and can be served just by itself as a salad OR on lightly toasted bread for a sandwich.

21. 21

    If you peel and leave an onion in the refrigerator for days, it makes it taste much sweeter.

22. 22

    You could add pickle juice, minced pickle, mustard or dry mustard, sweet relish, capers as desired as well as paprika for color.
