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 high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better the ingredients, the better the egg salad will be. Use large, fresh eggs, mayonnaise made with real eggs, and crisp vegetables.
- Hard-boil the eggs perfectly: Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs will be runny. To hard-boil eggs perfectly, 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 place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Mash the eggs coarsely: Don't over-mash the eggs, or they will become too smooth and creamy. Instead, use a fork to mash them coarsely, so that there are still some small pieces of white and yolk visible.
- Add flavorings and mix-ins: This is where you can get creative and customize the egg salad to your liking. Some popular mix-ins include celery, onion, pickles, dill, mustard, and paprika. You can also add crumbled bacon, chopped ham, or grated cheese.
- Chill the egg salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up. Chill the egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Egg salad is a classic sandwich filling that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and endless variations, egg salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. Whether you like it simple or loaded with mix-ins, egg salad is a surefire crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give egg salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
