Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons celery, chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Few dashes hot-pepper sauce
Salt and pepper
Lettuce or watercress
Bread or toast

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, coarsely chop 8 peeled hard-cooked eggs.
  • Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons chopped celery, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, and a few dashes of hot-pepper sauce (or more, if you like a spicier salad). Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir gently to combine. Serve with greens -- such as lettuce or watercress -- on bread or toast.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, hard-boiled eggs. Older eggs will have a less flavorful yolk and may be more difficult to peel.
  • Chop the eggs finely. This will help the egg salad to be more evenly distributed and easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of ingredients to add flavor and texture to the egg salad. Some popular additions include celery, onion, pickle relish, and mustard.
  • Season the egg salad to taste. Salt, pepper, and mayonnaise are all common seasonings for egg salad.
  • Serve the egg salad chilled. This will help to keep the egg salad from becoming too runny.
  • Enjoy the egg salad on a variety of foods. It is great on sandwiches, crackers, or as a dip for vegetables.

Egg salad is a classic dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed in many different ways. The tips above will help you make the best egg salad possible. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy lunch or snack, give egg salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
