Two ingredient egg salad!!! I mean – what do you usually put in egg salad – mayo and celery – right? Well tartar sauce is mayo & pickles – so why not? Let’s try it!!!
First – you hard boil 4 eggs. I only did 4 because my husband is allergic – so I just wanted to make enough for me to have a couple of sandwiches.
Once they were hard-boiled, I separated out the yolks. not sure you have to do this but it just seemed easier. Then I mashed them all up. Then – ready for ingredient #2!
There we go – 1/4 cup of Frisch’s Tartar Sauce. This stuff is so good – it’s a staple in my house – for sure!
Mix the tartar sauce with the egg yolks – stir stir stir until it’s a nice mashed up mix. Feel free to take a taste – if you want you can add lemon juice, salt or pepper – but I was happy with it as is!
I diced my egg whites – I didn’t use the normal hard boiled egg chopper because I wanted larger chunks of egg white. Then I folded in with the egg yolk/tartar sauce mixture. It’s then best if you put it in the fridge overnight.
4 hard-boiled eggs, whites & yolks separated
¼ cup Frisch’s Tartar Sauce
In bowl – mash separated yolks.
Separately – dice egg whites.
Add Frisch’s Tartar Sauce to yolks and stir.
Once the yolks and Frisch’s Tartar Sauce are
mixed together fold in the diced egg whites.
Chill overnight and serve.
As a native Cincinnatian, I’ve been eating Frisch’s tartar sauce egg salad on pumpernickel since I was a kid. My dad used to make it for us. He worked at Ford and would include this for his packed lunches. 2 hardboiled eggs and a packet of Frisch’s tartar sauce. It is simply the best portable lunch around. No soggy bread and it always tastes fresh! I’m 57 and still proselytizing it as “the way” to make egg salad!
