Lenore's Egg Salad

Lenore's Egg Salad

 I love egg salad.  I like a little crunch - celery, onion, shallot, fennel, pickles, all work for me.  And I like a little zip - in this case, I used my favorite Tony Packo's Sweet Hot Pickles and Peppers, including some of the juice from the jar, and Old Bay Seasoning.   (Tony Packo's is the Toledo restaurant that Klinger always waxed poetic about on the TV show M.A.S.H.)

Have you seen the hydroponic lettuce in the stores?  It's perfect for pulling off a few leaves at time for sandwiches, and since the roots are still attached, it holds for quite awhile in the fridge.  Perfect for smaller households.
