    I made this the other day, and there is something about the consistency and blend of tastes that isn't quite right. I did make it to eat on its own, not in a sandwich. I might try it again in a sandwich or wrap to see if it's better that way. - 11/19/08

    Did u use 1% cottage cheese? If you use fat free the texture will not be good like egg salad.

    I really enjoyed this filling delight! Being a big fan of egg salad I was a bit wary, but wow! I didn't miss the mayo at all and even used non-fat cottage cheese. Adding a pinch of dill gives it a pickle-ish zip. How cool that you can season this however you want-without caloric penalty!! - 5/10/10

    YUMMY egg salad has always been one of my favorite things and something I thought I'd have to give up, I mixed the egg, cottage cheese & a tsp of dijonaisse and then put that with some lettuce into a wrap - Fantastic! - 5/5/11

    Just made this today, it is delish! I dont always like egg salad because I'm not a big mayo fan. The recipe is very good, hard to tell that there is cottage cheese in there. I will be making it again. - 1/23/11

    Made this today and it was excellent! I'm going to see if I can find the recipe for the pancakes made with cottage cheese that you mentioned. Meeting my protein needs each day can be a challenge. - 9/22/10

    Really enjoyed this. The dijon mustard suggestion was just what was needed to make this really great. I like the suggestion another commenter made of adding chopped celery. I might try that next time. Good recipe all on its own, though. Thanks! - 6/20/10

    Sounds delicious. We just boiled 2 dozen eggs to dye for Easter and need a good idea for eating them up! I will also blend the cottage cheese to hide it. (Note: I did some math and the recipe without removing the second yolk is 210 calories). - 4/4/10
