ELI ZABAR'S EGG SALAD SANDWICH
In 1975, Eli Zabar, the owner of E.A.T., Eli's at the Vinegar Factory and numerous restaurants and markets throughout the city, invented what he calls the platonic ideal of an egg salad sandwich. He did it by eliminating half the egg whites. During this period, he was into simplicity, he said, and he wanted to get to the essential "egginess" of egg salad. The recipe remains unchanged more than 40 years later. But what of all the leftover hard-cooked egg whites? E.A.T. sells them as chopped egg white salad in two versions: plain, and dressed with mayonnaise and dill. Waste not, want not.

Steps:
- Put the eggs in a medium pan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes. Place pan in the sink under cold running water until the eggs are cool.
- Peel the eggs. Remove the yolks from 4 of them (save the whites for another use). Chop the 4 yolks with the 4 remaining whole eggs.
- In a medium bowl, gently and quickly mix the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the dill, mix the egg salad once more, and make into sandwiches.

ITALIAN DELI PASTA SALAD
This pasta salad has all my favorite things from the Italian deli - a trio of meats, a mix of cheeses, and giardiniera. I like to switch it up and use other meats like prosciutto, hot calabrese, or mortadella. Giardiniera comes in mild and hot varieties; use whichever you prefer. A good-quality Italian dressing makes a difference too!

Tips:
- For the best egg salad, use hard-boiled eggs that are fresh. Older eggs will have a less flavorful yolk.
- Be sure to chop the eggs finely. This will help them to blend well with the other ingredients.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. A cheap mayonnaise will make your egg salad taste bland.
- Add some chopped celery and onion for a classic egg salad flavor.
- If you like your egg salad a little tangy, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of prepared mustard.
- For a creamy egg salad, add a tablespoon or two of sour cream or plain yogurt.
- Season your egg salad to taste with salt and pepper.
- Chill your egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld.
- Serve egg salad on a bed of lettuce or arugula, or use it as a sandwich filling.
