Great recipie. I had never thought to add cream cheese. I never add green peppers as they always overpower everything else.I use red or yellow instead.

This sounds good to me and my dozen hens are giving me LOTS of eggs. I've never added cream cheese OR chili sauce to egg salad, so thank you for the idea, Tirzah Lujan.As I learned from another cook, "don't yuck my yum".
