Tips:

Use high-quality mayonnaise. Look for a brand that is made with fresh, simple ingredients and has a creamy, thick consistency.
Hard-boil your eggs perfectly. For easy-to-peel eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Chop your ingredients finely. This will help the flavors to meld together and make the egg salad more cohesive.
Season your egg salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings until the salad is flavorful but not overpowering.
Chill your egg salad before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and make the salad more refreshing.

Egg salad is a classic dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like it simple or kicked up with additional ingredients, there is an egg salad recipe out there for everyone. With a little creativity, you can create a delicious and satisfying egg salad that will be a hit at your next picnic, potluck, or party.
