This gourmet egg salad sandwiches is an updated version of this lunch time favorite.  Instead of just using yellow mustard and mayonnaise, this egg salad is bursting with bold flavors like dijon mustard, white wine vinegar and shallots.  The addition of fresh herbs adds a vibrancy to the dish that you just can't get from the dried variety.  Pair this egg salad with spicy arugula on a whole wheat bread and you've got a simple lunch or dinner.
