Melissa Pasanen's Egg Salad

A big bowl of comfort, to be eaten

by the spoonful, or between crisp toast.
By Melissa Pasanen Six hard-boiled eggs, chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickle (about one medium pickle)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (according to taste)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If not eaten straight from the bowl, egg salad is especially good on lightly toasted white sandwich bread.
