This is one of my favorite salads to make, next to my Lemon Dill Tuna Salad and one I eat ALL YEAR LONG. But, it seems only fitting to share it with you on this bright and sunny Spring day. Especially served inside these precious carrot shaped crescent rolls. Don’t these just beg for you to throw an little Easter Brunch or some sort of spring party? Speaking of parties, please make sure you hop on over to my festive Kid Easter Party tablescape being featured on Fashionable Hostess blog today! We got together for a little Q & A on entertaining + my party style and go-to cocktail. It’s such a treat to be showcased in part of her FH Dinner Party Series over on her website. You must head over and read the full post, and see all the fun details. It’s full of color, treats and pom-pom bunny tails.
And since we’re talking kids and parties, these carrot shaped crescent rolls are easy enough for the kids to help with. Best part, it involves ice cream cones and you can’t let the extras go to waste. So, I guess we’re having ICE CREAM after!

TARRAGON + SHALLOT EGG SALAD
This egg salad recipe came from a girlfriend of mine about 10 years ago. She made
it for me one day and I’ve been making it ever since. Make it once and you’ll see why. OH MY GOSH! So delicious and oh so simple. I love the way the fresh tarragon + splash of white wine takes the flavors up a notch. Try this one!
RECIPE
- 1 dozen hardboiled eggs, chopped
- 1/2 cup light mayo
- 3 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
- 2 table spoons finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- salt + pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients together and chill in refrigerator overnight. Allowing all of the ingredients to marinate. Simply stuff each carrot roll before serving and add a sprig of fresh dill for fun. Your guest are sure to get a kick out of this presentation. Serve and enjoy!
