'FANCY' EGG SALAD
This recipe dresses up basic egg salad with parsley, capers, shallots and bacon. The writer, David Latt, cooks his eggs on a low, gentle boil for 30 minutes and finds they come out perfectly done, with the yolk flaky, but feel free to use whatever method you like, as long as the eggs are hard-boiled. (We give instructions for boiling and steaming in our guide to cooking eggs.) You can also add other spices: mustard, ground mustard seed, cumin or rosemary. The parsley can be replaced with cilantro, and the mayonnaise can be flavored.

"DRESSED UP" GREEK-STYLE SALAD
This is a variation of another "dressed-up" salad I make for special occasions. This one is for my occasional "Irish Girl's Greek Night" parties, The salad makes an outstanding presentation by being totally covered with colorful vegetable rings with a circular dollop of feta cheese in the center. After everyone ooos and aaahs, toss it and serve with your favorite Greek dressing. I use a portion of Recipe #68485, the remainder of which stores nicely in frig. I hope you enjoy this very pretty twist of a green salad recipe. (NOTE -- Amounts below are realistic but not written in stone. Measurements also depend on the size of the salad bowl and amount of greens in it, since the salad's "wardrobe" has to totally cover top of greens!) I have also used thinly-sliced celery and/or small pieces of cauliflower as part of the ring wardrobe!

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except bread in a large bowl; mix until well combined. Spread 1/4 cup egg mixture over half of bread slices; top with remaining bread slices. Trim crusts, if desired. Tip: Toss pillows for outdoor furniture are easy to make using two cotton tea towels and hem tape. Press iron-on hem tape on the wrong side of one towel, then remove the paper backing. Lay the second tea towel on top, wrong sides together, and press, leaving an opening for a pillow. Slip the pillow inside, then press the openings together.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresher eggs will result in a more flavorful and creamy egg salad.
- Hard-boil your eggs perfectly: Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs will be runny. For the perfect hard-boiled egg, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer them to an ice bath. Once the eggs are cool, peel and chop them.
- Choose the right mayonnaise: A good quality mayonnaise will make a big difference in the taste of your egg salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain a lot of sugar or preservatives.
- Add-ins: Feel free to get creative with your egg salad by adding in your favorite ingredients. Some popular add-ins include celery, onion, pickles, relish, capers, and herbs.
- Season to taste: Be sure to season your egg salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a bit of mustard or lemon juice for a little extra flavor.
- Chill before serving: Egg salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and will make it easier to spread.
