I just love the salad, but unfortunately live far away from my hometown Furrs Cafeteria. Thanks!

Answer 4

I just eyeball it- Add mayo until it is the consistency you like. Then, 1-2 Tbsp sweet relish, 3/4 tsp onion powder, salt and pepper to taste, and that's all I add to mine. You can add mustard if you like, I'd use only about 1 tsp though. Hope your egg salad turns out yummy! It's one of my FAVES!
