Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 3 to 4 days.
- Egg salad is not recommended for freezing.
- Use an ice bath to make peeling the eggs easy. After cooking, drain the eggs and return them to the pan with about two cups of ice cubes. Add water to cover the eggs and let them sit for at least 5 minutes before peeling. The shells should come off easily.
