I should start talking about this recipe for torn egg salad by saying that while eggs are definitely among my top ten favorite foods, I've never really liked egg salad all that much. Poached eggs, soft scrambled eggs, eggs in clouds...I adore them all. But egg salad? Not so much. But then I tried making my own version with large pieces of hard boiled egg tossed gently with herbs and scallions and just a little mayo and some fresh lemon juice. And I served it up on a bed of polenta. And lo and behold, an egg salad lover has been born!
