SOUTH OF THE BORDER EGG SALAD
Good by itself, for sandwiches, or wrap in a flour tortilla. For the celery, I use celery hearts. Substitute Miracle Whip for the mayo if you prefer. If you don't like the "bite" of raw onion in your salad,use scallions instead. Prep time doesn't include time for cooking eggs, which varies depending on what method you use.
