Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by taking a large mixing bowl and adding about 2 cups of saltine or butter crackers. Crush the crackers into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Dice one large tomato and chop a handful of scallions. Add these fresh vegetables to the bowl with the crushed crackers.
  3. Peel and chop two hard-boiled eggs, incorporating them into the mixture. This will create a beautiful medley of flavors.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together about a half cup of mayonnaise with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper until smooth.
  5. Fold the creamy dressing into the bowl of crushed crackers, tomatoes, scallions, and hard-boiled eggs. Ensure everything is coated evenly.
  6. Taste your salad and adjust the flavors by adding more salt and pepper if desired. Achieve a perfect balance of creaminess and crunch.
  7. Serve your Georgia Cracker Salad immediately or let it sit for about 30 minutes at room temperature to meld flavors. Refrigerate for a cooler option.
