I just bought this container of egg beaters and wanted to know if I can make egg salad with them or do I have to make it with eggs? I feel so dumb with this question...Sorry

    I don't see why you couldn't. Just cook it and chop it up!

    I don't eat eggs (allergy) but I have heard mixed things about the egg salad using egg beaters. Try it and let us know :)

    It won't be the same because egg salad is 'rich' because of the yolk. But, hey, give it a try!

    I can't even really think of how you would, but I wouldn't recommend it anyway. With egg salad, the egg is the star of the show! Egg beaters is just egg whites and some flavoring anyway, you could always use regular hard boiled eggs and then leave out most (or all) of the yolks to make it lighter (that's where all the fat is anyway). Unless you don't have any eggs at all, in which case I guess you could try it, but the consistency and texture isn't going to be right at all.

    Also you don't "have" to use any particular item to make any particular dish.... you can experiment and do whatever you want! That's the beauty of cooking! ;)
