This easy, classic egg salad tastes something like my mom’s – except oh my, it’s so much more flavorful! Maybe that’s because the eggs are pasture-raised and organic, with bright orange yolks! Even better, it contains no mayo, so you have no more worries about packing it for lunch or picnics. Instead of mayo, it uses lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil. This salad is especially tasty with Gluten-free Onion Herb Crackers. Serves 3
