This isn\u2019t your average run-of-the-mill egg salad that sits unloved at the back of the refrigerator until it\u2019s forgotten. This egg salad is a creamy, tangy and downright indulgent creation that invites you to sit down, take a deep breath and savor each glorious bite. With the richness of cream cheese, the subtle crunch of fresh veggies and the sweet zing of pickle relish, this egg salad is destined to become the star of your next meal. And let’s be honest\u2014you\u2019ll never make egg salad without cream cheese again.<\/p>\n
In a medium bowl, stir the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Fold in the finely chopped green or sweet red pepper, celery, sweet pickle relish and minced fresh parsley until the vegetables and herbs are evenly distributed. Then carefully fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the egg salad to an airtight container then refrigerate for at least one hour or until well chilled before serving.<\/p>\n
Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator to keep your creamy egg salad fresh. It will stay good for up to two days. Be sure to give it a quick stir before serving to redistribute any ingredients that may have settled.<\/p>\n
Freezing egg salad with cream cheese is not recommended. The texture of the eggs and cream cheese can become watery and grainy when thawed. This will lead to an unappealing consistency. It\u2019s best to enjoy this egg salad fresh within two days of making it.<\/p>\n
Yes, you can make this egg salad up to a day in advance. Preparing it ahead of time allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in an even tastier dish. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and give it a quick stir before serving.<\/p>\n
This creamy egg salad pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad<\/a>, offering a light and crisp contrast to the rich flavors. It also goes well with a bowl of tomato soup<\/a>, which adds a warm and comforting element to the meal. Spread some between slices of whole-grain bread<\/a> for a satisfying sandwich for something more substantial.<\/p>\n You can substitute the mayonnaise with light mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt to make the egg salad lower in calories. You can also reduce the amount of cream cheese or use a lower-fat version to cut down on calories while still maintaining a creamy texture.<\/p>\n Large, farm-fresh eggs or organic eggs are ideal for making egg salad as they tend to have a richer flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love the versatility of this creamy egg salad.
