TEXAS HOME COOKING

"Egg salads have been a winner on Texas tables for well over a century. This version, created by Jason Griffin of Center, won a cook off at the 1986 East Texas Poultry Festival." Combine all the ingredients together in a med. bowl, and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate the salad, covered, at least 30 mins. Serve the salad atop lettuce leaves or spread it on a sandwich. Leftovers can be kept a couple of days.
