Bacon and Egg Salad is a good reason to move the traditional breakfast to a less than traditional lunch or summer dinner. Try it for yourself.
This egg salad recipe is unique becaue most of us associate bacon and eggs with a heavy breakfast and not a light lunch. This salad is truly tasty and different from the average salad concept; that’s even more reason to try it out. I use pancetta rather than bacon and a couple of ounces less because it gives a much stronger taste – however it is saltier so be careful how much seasoning you add.

Ingredients
12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled & chopped
6 celery ribs (stalks), chopped
5 scallions or green onions (Spring onions), sliced
12 ounces (340 grams) bacon cut in 1″ squares. Cooked crisp & drained (I prefer using a lesser amount of pancetta, but the choice is yours.)
2 Tbsp caraway seeds
4 Tbsp prepared white horseradish, drained
1 cup mayonnaise
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Method
Gently toss the eggs, celery, scallions, bacon & caraway seeds together in a medium-size bowl to combine.
Mix the horseradish and mayonnaise and fold into the salad.
Season to taste with salt & pepper. Garnish with parsley.
Bon appetit.
