Three Many Cooks: Egg Salad: Three Many Cooks tell you how whip up an amazing and eggs-cellent egg salad for Easter.

From the Cooks

Sharon: I’m not a big fan of candy, so for me, the best thing about Easter is the leftover egg salad. Though all these recipes are delicious, the Indian version is by far my favorite--I sometimes add a few toasted pistachios for extra crunch. (Plus, the curry powder helps obscure the bits of blue and pink dye peeking through.)

Maggy: I've always loved egg salad. When I was young, my best friend's mom made what I thought was the best egg salad in the world. But now I'm older and my palate is a little more diverse, these egg salad recipes are a delicious spin on the original.
