0 likes 0 reviews 27 views

Classic Egg Salad is a simple, creamy, and satisfying dish made with hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, and fresh seasonings. The tender eggs create a rich texture, while mustard and a splash of lemon juice add a pleasant tang. Finely chopped celery or green onions provide a little crunch, making this traditional salad both flavorful and easy to enjoy.

Perfect for sandwiches, toast, wraps, or a light lunch, homemade egg salad requires just a handful of everyday ingredients. It can be prepared ahead of time and chilled to allow the flavors to blend, making it a convenient option for busy days, picnics, and quick family meals. Serve it over fresh lettuce, spoon it onto crackers, or enjoy it in your favorite sandwich bread.

Cooking Method

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water.
Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs stand for 10–12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and cool for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chopped eggs, celery, and green onions.
Gently mix until the eggs are coated, keeping some larger pieces for texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Chill for 15–30 minutes if desired.
Sprinkle with paprika and serve on bread, toast, crackers, or fresh lettuce.
