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:

  • Choose Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture. Look for large or extra-large eggs for a creamier salad.
  • Hard-Boil Eggs Perfectly: 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 in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard-boiled you like them. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a Good-Quality Mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is one of the key ingredients in egg salad, so choose a good-quality brand that you enjoy the taste of. You can also use homemade mayonnaise if you prefer.
  • Chop Ingredients Evenly: Chop all of the ingredients, including the eggs, celery, onion, and pickles, into even pieces. This will help to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the salad.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the egg salad and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or mustard to taste.
  • Chill Before Serving: For the best flavor and texture, chill the egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to firm up.

Conclusion:

Egg salad is a classic dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you serve it on sandwiches, crackers, or lettuce wraps, or use it as a filling for deviled eggs, it's sure to be a hit. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and versatility, egg salad is a perfect dish for any occasion.
