  • Always wash the eggs before using them, since even a seemingly clean shell can harbor harmful bacteria. A food-safe wash and a brush work best.
  • You can swap the chicken for turkey or any other meat you like — just keep in mind the cooking time and calorie count will change.
  • It's best to make your own mayonnaise — it tastes better and is healthier. You'll find some interesting homemade mayo recipes here. You can also dress the salad with sour cream or plain yogurt instead of, or mixed with, mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that cuts the calories.
