Meet the Cook: Whenever I have company, I like to be able to just pop the food on the table. So this recipe's a real favorite of mine. I got it from a friend who made it for our church get-togethers. My husband and I raised four children; today, we have seven grandchildren. In our small town, farmland surrounds us on three sides, and we face the Columbia River on the other. -Lois Chapman, Ridgefield, Washington

  • Choose fresh, hard-boiled eggs. Older eggs are more likely to have a chalky texture and an unpleasant sulfurous odor.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make all the difference in the flavor of your egg salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh, natural ingredients and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Add some crunch. Celery, carrots, and onions are all classic additions to egg salad, but you can also get creative and add other crunchy vegetables, such as jicama, radishes, or fennel.
  • Season to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are essential seasonings for egg salad, but you can also add other spices and herbs to your liking. Some popular options include paprika, dill, and chives.
  • Chill before serving. Egg salad is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
