Egg Salad

Many people have an aversion to egg salad, primarily from mayonnaise. But this recipe uses medium boiled eggs, a proper mustardy aioli and a bit of celery. You lose the thickness of the mayonnaise, but gain a bit of jammy texture from the medium boiled eggs with some crunch from the celery. It makes for a more refined egg salad sandwich that everyone can get behind.
