Notes
Carefully adding uncooked eggs to boiling water v. heating the eggs with the water will help them peel more easily. I use a hand-held pasta "spider strainer" to slowly lower the eggs into the boiling water.Arugula adds a wonderful peppery flavor so this is my favorite choice of greens to pair with this egg salad.*White pepper is strong, you don't need much. I prefer white pepper in egg salad. However, you can use black pepper instead.
