This is a really nice chilled salad, especially during those summer time lunches. It also is one of those recipes that tastes even better the next day. I like to chill it overnight before serving. This recipe only takes about half an hour to put together once the eggs are boiled and cooled enough to chop, so, I often mix everything together while the eggs are cooling and then gently fold them in just before garnishing.
