Egg salad is a classic dish that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or snack. It is made with hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, and a variety of other ingredients, such as celery, onion, and pickles. Egg salad can be served on bread, crackers, or lettuce leaves. It is also a popular filling for sandwiches and wraps.
This article provides three different recipes for egg salad. The first recipe is a classic egg salad made with mayonnaise, celery, onion, and pickles. The second recipe is a variation on the classic egg salad that adds avocado and bacon. The third recipe is a spicy egg salad made with Sriracha sauce and cayenne pepper.
All three recipes are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. For example, if you don't like celery, you can omit it from the recipe. Or, if you want a spicier egg salad, you can add more Sriracha sauce or cayenne pepper.
No matter how you make it, egg salad is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion.

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.

BACON AND EGG SALAD

Categories main-dish

Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- To cook the bacon using the "Mauro Method," line a baking sheet with parchment, overlapping each side 1 to 2 inches. Put the bacon on the parchment and bake until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. This way, the fat will fry the bacon to a perfect crisp but not come in contact with the metal pan, creating a mess. Drain the bacon on paper towels and let cool. (Once the fat is cooled, use or just toss it. No mess!)
- Crumble the bacon into a bowl. Gently mix in the eggs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Eat alone, or build sandwiches with avocados and tomatoes on toasted croissants.
