Happy Independence Day! It’s hard to believe the 4th of July is already here! I love this time of year. My hometown in Southwest Minnesota always has their big celebration. The lake is always hopping and it’s a great time to catch up with anyone who happens to be home for the weekend. For my family, heading up to Northern Minnesota is also a favorite of ours. Anytime with my family is priceless, but the 4th of July is always special!
In case you need a quick, easy recipe to bring to your 4th of July gathering, large or small, I’ve got you covered. To be honest, more credit can probably go to your girls for laying all those yummy eggs, but I doubt they can whip up egg salad like The Wing Lady!
Below, is my go-to egg salad recipe for my family. It’s simple and easy to whip up. I’ve also included some fun add-on toppings if you want to jazz it up a bit.
