THE BEST EGG SALAD

The Best Egg Salad image

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.

Tips:

Use fresh, hard-boiled eggs. Fresh eggs will have a better flavor and texture than older eggs. Hard-boiling the eggs properly will also prevent them from becoming rubbery.
Mash the eggs with a fork, not a spoon. A fork will create a more even texture than a spoon. You can also use a potato masher to get a finer texture.
Add your favorite mix-ins. This recipe is a great base for all sorts of variations. Try adding chopped celery, onion, pickles, or herbs. You can also add a dollop of mayonnaise or sour cream for a creamier texture.
Season the egg salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like until the egg salad is flavorful enough for your taste.
Serve the egg salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later. Egg salad is best when served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This unique egg salad recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy eggs. It's perfect for a quick lunch or snack, and it's also a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. With its creamy texture and flavorful mix-ins, this egg salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
