Curried Egg Salad

When I was in elementary school, there was this one boy who we all ruthlessly made fun of because he brought egg salad sandwiches for lunch, and egg salad was WEIRD to the rest of us with our Lunchables and PB&J sandwiches. So, imagine my shock when a few years later I discovered that I really liked egg salad. I still feel guilty for making fun of that kid all the time.

I woke up Wednesday morning and realized I had nothing to take to work for lunch. After doing an inventory of the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry, I was still at a loss. Then I went through my saved recipes and discovered this egg salad recipe that I had saved back in December. I third-ed the original recipe, which made just enough for sandwiches for the rest of the week. I also added grated carrots. Next time I would lessen the amount of mayonnaise because the carrots added some extra moisture, and the salad was a little gloppier than I would've preferred today.
