This egg salad offers a pleasant, smoky heat from chipotle chile powder. The flavours develop best after a brief chill. It is ideal for sandwiches, especially on toasted dark pumpernickel with lettuce and tomato. You can easily adjust the spice level to suit your taste. This recipe makes enough for six servings and is ready in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

8 large eggs, hardboiled, cooled & peeled
1/2 cup diced celery (inner stalks best)
1/2 cup diced onion
1 1/2 tablespoons prepared mustard (I use brown)
1/2 teaspoon mccormick chipotle chile
1/3 cup mayonnaise

Method

Dice the hardboiled eggs. Using an egg slicer twice at 90 degree angles creates a uniform dice.
Combine the mustard, chile powder and mayonnaise with the diced eggs, stirring well.
Gently mix in the diced celery and onion until evenly distributed.
Refrigerate the salad for 45 minutes to allow the flavours to blend.
Taste the chilled salad and season with salt and black pepper if you like. Serve on lightly toasted dark pumpernickel with lettuce and thinly sliced tomato.
