Dill and Pickle Egg Salad Sandwich

Dill and Pickle Egg Salad Sandwich

Ingredients:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon brine from a jar of cornichons, gherkins or other small pickles, plus more as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons white or red wine vinegar, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon mustard, such as Dijon
1 tablespoon honey, plus more as needed
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 hard-boiled eggs, diced
3 cornichons, gherkins or other small pickles, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced fresh dill
2 slices rye bread
Handful mixed baby lettuces

About the Recipe

Not everyone loves a mayo-based egg salad, so we pulled inspiration from a previously published mustard potato salad recipe based on a Mark Bittman original.
The eggs work great in place of the potatoes, with the dill, pickles and rye bread coming together for a very punchy sandwich. We like tucking the salad in between two layers of lettuce to provide a protective barrier between the eggs and the bread.
The recipe scales up easily if you want to make enough egg salad for several days.
Make Ahead: You will have some mustard vinaigrette left over, which is great on salads and can be refrigerated for a few days (whisk briefly if it has separated).

Getting it done:

Combine the oil, pickle brine, vinegar, mustard and honey in a mini food processor or lidded jar you can shake. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Process, or seal and shake, to form a creamy vinaigrette. This should take a minute or less. Taste and add more brine, vinegar or honey, as needed.

Combine the egg, cornichons and dill in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Tuck the egg salad into the bread in between two thin layers of lettuce.
