If you’re just learning how to make egg salad, this may be the best egg salad recipe. Truly. It combines perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs, celery and basic pantry staples. The mayonnaise dressing is creamy without being too rich or heavy, and the simple seasoning blend adds just enough savory, herbaceous spice. It’s wonderful tucked into lightly toasted bread slices or served over tender leafy greens. Or, if you enjoy egg salad as much as I do, you may enjoy this served in a bowl with a little spoon.<\/p>\n
The key to any excellent egg salad is the eggs, of course. It doesn’t matter if you like your boiled eggs jammy or firm\u2014they’ll work for egg salad. This is the time to use any extra eggs from Easter or when you made too many for your favorite deviled eggs recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, onion, salt and pepper until smooth. Add the eggs and celery.<\/p>\n Stir everything until evenly dispersed.<\/p>\n Cover the egg salad and refrigerate until ready to serve.<\/p>\n Egg salad is best stored in the refrigerator. Never keep mayonnaise-based salads at room temp for longer than two hours\u2014by that time your food may grow harmful bacteria, putting you at risk of food poisoning.<\/p>\n Store your egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.<\/p>\n You can technically freeze your egg salad for two or three months. However, we don’t recommend freezing egg salad, as the texture changes for the worse when it freezes and then thaws.<\/p>\n It’s not difficult to make perfect boiled eggs. You can make hard-boiled eggs<\/a> in an Instant Pot, oven, slow cooker, air fryer or egg cooker. While every method works, we think stovetop-boiled eggs are the most foolproof.<\/p>\n Egg salad is delightful with breakfast and brunch foods, such as omelets, green salads, fresh fruit, and cheese and crackers. Homemade potato chips<\/a>, crisp vegetables like carrot sticks or celery, and air-fryer snacks<\/a> like sweet potato fries or crisp spiced chickpeas also make fine companions to egg salad sandwiches.<\/p>\n Depending on the occasion, you can add creamy or crunchy ingredients to your egg salad. For a side dish at a potluck or cookout, add cooked diced potatoes\u2014skin-on for more texture. Or, for a heartier but just as fresh lunch, add all sorts of finely chopped vegetables to your salad. I enjoy adding colorful, crunchy veggies like bell peppers and carrots. For a near-diplike creamy salad, I’ll add tomatoes and\/or avocados.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes the simplest is the best.
