A classic favorite calls for a makeover with the use of homemade mayonnaise, eliminating inflammatory oils and preservatives. For alternative flavors, try adding in hot sauce or fold in some pesto.
Tip: The freshest eggs are extremely difficult to peel. Take your next dozen eggs from the store and let them hang out in your refrigerator a few days before you hard boil them.
