Spicy Egg Salad
This is definitely an original salad. Yes it takes some time to prepare, as the spicy eggs, take a week to pickle; but it is a great recipe to make for a quick lunch and the spicy eggs are a perfect way to rid yourself of eggs that have been sitting in your fridge for a while, which you do not feel like eating but also do not want to throw away! (..and if you dislike anchovies, just don't put them in!)
