THE BEST EGG SALAD

While we love a jazzed up version of egg salad, we always come back to this one for its simplicity, clean flavors and sheer nostalgia. This is the best version of a classic egg salad. It's bright with herbs and the mayonnaise-to-egg ratio is just right, making it perfectly mound-able on a sandwich or bowl of greens. If you are serving a crowd, the recipe is easily doubled, or you can just keep some extra in the fridge for whenever the craving strikes.

'FANCY' EGG SALAD



'Fancy' Egg Salad image

This recipe dresses up basic egg salad with parsley, capers, shallots and bacon. The writer, David Latt, cooks his eggs on a low, gentle boil for 30 minutes and finds they come out perfectly done, with the yolk flaky, but feel free to use whatever method you like, as long as the eggs are hard-boiled. (We give instructions for boiling and steaming in our guide to cooking eggs.) You can also add other spices: mustard, ground mustard seed, cumin or rosemary. The parsley can be replaced with cilantro, and the mayonnaise can be flavored.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for the freshest eggs and mayonnaise. This will greatly enhance the flavor of your egg salad.
  • Hard-Boiled Eggs: For perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Drain the hot water and immediately place the eggs in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Chopping the Eggs: Use a sharp knife to finely chop the hard-boiled eggs. This will help ensure an even texture throughout your egg salad.
  • Mayo and Seasonings: Start with a small amount of mayonnaise and add more to taste. Season the egg salad with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. For a tangy twist, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard.
  • Garnish: Before serving, garnish your egg salad with chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill. This will add a pop of color and freshness.
