🥚 The Perfect Egg Salad Recipe: Creamy, Simple, and Delicious
Egg salad is one of those timeless recipes that never goes out of style. It’s creamy, comforting, and incredibly versatile—perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or even enjoyed on its own. With just a few basic ingredients and simple techniques, you can create a rich and flavorful egg salad that tastes homemade and fresh every time.
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion or green onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped celery (for crunch)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: paprika, fresh herbs (parsley or dill), or a squeeze of lemon juice
👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Method
1. Boil the Eggs Properly
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Make sure the water sits about an inch above the eggs. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the water to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for about 10–12 minutes. This method helps avoid overcooking and keeps the yolks from turning gray.
2. Cool and Peel the Eggs
After the eggs are done, transfer them immediately into a bowl of ice water or run them under cold water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel off the shells. Starting from the wider end usually makes peeling easier.
