Notes
- Mayonnaise: I like 1/2 cup mayonnaise in this recipe, you can certainly use less (or substitute Greek yogurt or mashed avocado).
- Parsley: Or substitute minced dill, tarragon, or chives.
- Mustard: You can use a different mustard such as yellow mustard, or even ground mustard (start with 1 teaspoon ground mustard, taste it, and see if you think it needs more).
- Hard-boiled eggs: I love this egg cooker for making hard-boiled eggs. Seriously, I use it all the time (Culinary Hill may earn money if you make a purchase through this link).
- Yield: This recipe makes about 4 cups of egg salad, enough for 8 (1/2 cup) servings.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
