I have always loved egg salad. When I was little I especially loved it when made while the eggs were still warm. The warm eggs mixed with some mayonnaise was all I needed to make this perfect salad. My mom would spread the salad on Wonder Bread for my lunch. When I became a mom I started making this for my sons. When very little, Steven liked to help me make it. He would stir the eggs around and around declaring that it was extra stirring that made his version so good. And it was. I have decided to make a new version and added some truffle zest to the mix. This has taken the most perfect salad into modern times. It is still just as comforting as it was so many years ago but now elegant enough to be new again. Give it a try...it is really hard to resist.
