Steps:
- Mash the hard-boiled eggs. Don't mash them too fine.
- If using onions, heat the oil in a skillet and add the onions. Sautee until they turn golden brown.
- Add the onions or bacon (or for the ultimate version, both!), mayonnaise, and salt to the chopped eggs and mix thoroughly.
- Taste and adjust the level of salt. If you like a creamier texture, add a little more mayonnaise.
- Serve in a bowl if using as a brunch spread. If serving as a lunch salad, surround a generous scoop with lettuce, tomato wedges, and sliced cucumbers.
- Enjoy!

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.

WORLD FAMOUS EGG SALAD
Ok so maybe not WORLD famous... This is a different version of egg salad. Similar in all the ways that count but with some ingredients that give it a different flavor and a fair amount of bite. Try it.... you'll like it :-) it can be cut in half easily if this is too much for your needs. I got this recipe from a recipe group I subscribe to.

Steps:
- Sauté bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Cut bacon slices crosswise in half.
- Combine chopped eggs, celery, and olives in bowl. Mix in 1/4 cup mayonnaise and mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place toast slices on work surface; spread lightly with remaining mayonnaise. Divide egg salad among 6 toast slices. Place 4 bacon pieces, then 2 lettuce leaves atop egg salad on each. Cover with remaining toast slices, mayonnaise side down. Cut sandwiches diagonally in half.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your egg salad.
- Hard-boil your eggs perfectly. Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs will be runny.
- Mash your eggs with a fork, not a food processor. This will give your egg salad a more rustic, homemade texture.
- Add your favorite mix-ins. Some popular options include celery, onion, pickles, and mayonnaise.
- Season your egg salad to taste. Salt, pepper, and paprika are all good choices.
- Chill your egg salad before serving. This will help it to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Egg salad is a classic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a versatile dish that can be served as a sandwich, a salad, or even as a dip. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be an egg salad recipe that everyone will love.
