Egg Salad, Hold the Mayo

If you're of Polish decent, are married to a Polish man or are generally really into mustard, you will have all of these ingredients on hand on any given day.

This is my egg salad without mayo (for those of us who are looking for alternative recipes that cut calories and are healthy varieties of our usual favorites, without jumping overboard).

12 hard boiled eggs
yellow mustard
dijon mustard
vinegar
spicy yellow mustard
salt/pepper
paprika

Slice the hard boiled eggs into small to medium pieces and put them in a medium bowl. (You may remove all or some of the egg yolks if you are watching your cholesterol.)

Salt and pepper the eggs.

Squeeze enough yellow mustard over the eggs to cover the top of them.

Add three or four squirts of dijon mustard and spicy yellow mustard.

Add about 1/4 cup vinegar.

Sprinkle enough paprika over the eggs to cover the top of them.

Stir it all together.

Sprinkle enough paprika over the eggs to cover the top of them again.

Cover & refrigerate to chill. Serve on toasted whole wheat bread.
