Tips:

Choose the Right Eggs: For the best egg salad, use fresh, large eggs. Older eggs may have a less flavorful yolk and a thinner white, resulting in a less satisfying salad.
Hard-Boil the Eggs Perfectly: Cook the eggs for exactly 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the eggs. Overcooked eggs will have a green ring around the yolk and a sulfurous flavor.
Cool the Eggs Quickly: Immediately transfer the hard-boiled eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and prevent the yolks from becoming overcooked.
Use Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh herbs to enhance the flavor of the egg salad. Avoid using store-bought, pre-made dressings or sauces, as they often contain artificial ingredients and preservatives.
Don't Overmix the Salad: Mix the egg salad gently to avoid breaking up the egg yolks and making the salad too runny. Overmixing can also result in a less flavorful salad.
Chill the Salad Before Serving: Refrigerate the egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
