Simple Egg Salad Sandwich

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. This is such a late post. I was supposed to post this on Wednesday but didn`t get the chance until now. The week was crazy and tiring for me, so I hope my dear readers will forgive me. :(

Egg salad has always been one of those foods I have always heard about, but never tired it before. Most likely has to do with the fact that my parents are Chinese and have not heard about it before.


Let me tell you, if you don`t know already...egg salad sandwich is super yummy. AND, super simple. I guess it`s weird to post a recipe on something so simple and common. However, I have never had it until a few months ago when I made this for myself!

Since this blog is a collection of recipes I have tried, I have to definitely post this recipe! Maybe someone hasn`t tried it yet and will stumble on my blog and make it! (hinthint:ifthisappliestoyou!) :D

This is definitely a base recipe. You can add pretty much anything you like, like fresh herbs or whatnot!
