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.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will have a brighter yellow yolk and a firmer white, resulting in a more flavorful and visually appealing egg salad.
- Hard-boil eggs properly: To prevent overcooked and rubbery eggs, place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it. Let the eggs stand for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard-boiled you want them. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Chop the eggs finely: This will help the egg salad to hold together better and make it easier to spread. You can use a knife, a food processor, or an egg slicer to chop the eggs.
- Use a variety of ingredients: Don't just stick to the basics! Add other ingredients to your egg salad to give it more flavor and texture. Some popular additions include celery, onion, red pepper, pickle relish, and fresh herbs.
- Season the egg salad well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings to taste. Some popular options include mustard, mayonnaise, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Chill the egg salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the egg salad more refreshing.
