If you're looking for the best egg salad sandwich recipe, you'll want to follow these tips. First, start with good-quality ingredients. Use fresh eggs, mayonnaise, celery, parsley, and green olives. You'll also want to use a good-quality bread, such as a sourdough or whole wheat roll. Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Add a little Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, or chopped bacon to your egg salad for a unique twist.

EGG SALAD SANDWICHES WITH GREEN OLIVE, CELERY AND PARSLEY
This zesty egg salad has no mayonnaise (but a dab of homemade mayonnaise would be permissible). Use picholine or other tasty green olives (not the bland canned supermarket type) or substitute Italian-style marinated artichoke hearts. You could add a little chopped anchovy and a few capers, too, if so inclined. Served open-face as appetizers, these sandwiches are very pretty, but there's no reason not to use the filling for a conventional sandwich.

EGG OLIVE SALAD SANDWICHES
My mom used to put a booth in a local church's fall craft bazaar. The church ladies made these sandwiches every year. They are simply amazing. I went back to the bazaar this past fall for the first time in years... They were still making the same sandwiches, but I didn't get one -- they were sold out!! The recipe comes from the church's cookbook. The book suggests only Sunbeam white bread, but since when do I follow rules?! Pita bread, whole grain bread, wheat bread, or just a a bed of lettuce... It's all good. :)

Mrs. Peterson, a lady from church, made the best egg salad sandwiches and she'd never really tell you what she put in them. This was my first attempt to duplicate her recipe. Her family thought she added butter when mixing.
