Egg Salad Recipe with the Best Dressing
Description
The recipe starts by cooking and cooling hard-boiled eggs, which are then peeled and chopped to a chunky texture. Added to the eggs are finely diced celery and red onion, along with chopped fresh dill and chives, lending brightness and herbal complexity to the mixture.
The dressing is prepared separately, blending mayonnaise with lemon juice, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and fresh minced garlic. This dressing is gently stirred into the egg and vegetable mixture to coat it evenly, balancing creamy, tangy, and mildly spicy flavors.
Egg salad like this is suited for sandwiches, salads, or as a spread. Because flavors mellow over time when chilled, adjusting seasoning before serving is recommended. The dish should be refrigerated within two hours of preparation and consumed within 3 to 5 days for safety and freshness.
Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 8 egg hard-boiled
- 2 Tbsp celery finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp red onion finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp dill chopped
- 3 Tbsp chives chopped
For the Dressing:
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper ground
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
- Cook eggs and cool. Once cooled, peel and chop eggs (we like ours chunky) and place into a salad bowl.
- Add finely chopped celery, red onion, dill and chives.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the dressing. Gently stir the dressing into the egg salad until coated and serve.
Notes
- Refrigerate egg salad promptly and do not leave at room temperature more than 2 hours.
- Store covered in the fridge and consume within 3-5 days for best quality and safety.
- Season to taste again before serving as flavors mellow during refrigeration.
