Easy Egg Salad
Description
This egg salad recipe starts with hard-boiled eggs chopped to include both whites and yolks for texture and richness. The mixture of mayonnaise and mustard adds creaminess with a slight tang, complemented by fresh dill and paprika for herbal and smoky notes. Salt and pepper balance the flavors, and an optional splash of pickle juice introduces mild acidity and brightness.
The finished salad is smooth yet chunky, perfect for spreading on sandwiches or serving as a dip. The use of fresh herbs differentiates it from basic egg salad versions and provides a fresh taste.
Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, to avoid overpowering the delicate egg flavor. The mustard level can impact saltiness, so season gradually.
Ingredients
- 12 large egg hard-boiled
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoons black pepper ground
- 3 tablespoons dill chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon pickle juice optional
Instructions
- Start by chopping the cooked eggs and adding them to a mixing bowl. You want to use both the egg yolks and the egg whites.
- Add the mayonnaise and mustard to the eggs.
- Add the salt, pepper, paprika, and fresh dill to the mixing bowl.
- Pour in a splash of pickle juice and mix to combine.
- Taste for seasoning because you don't want a bland salad. Add an extra pinch of salt if needed. You don't want the egg salad salty, so keep that in mind with the flavor of the mustard. You may also want to add a bit more ground black pepper depending on your taste.
