Homemade Egg Salad
Description
Homemade Egg Salad features hard-boiled eggs chopped and mixed with a creamy dressing made of mayonnaise and dual mustards, enhanced by finely diced celery and fresh chives. The salad’s seasoning with white pepper, black pepper, and salt adds depth while maintaining a light flavor profile. The celery adds a crisp texture that contrasts with the softness of the eggs, making it enjoyable as a sandwich filling or on toasted bread.
The preparation involves chopping the eggs to the desired consistency, then blending with the mayo, mustards, vegetables, and seasonings. Serving suggestions include toasting bread and spreading mayonnaise before piling on the egg salad, which can be complemented by peppery greens like arugula for added freshness. The salad's cool, creamy qualities suit it well for quick meals and snacks.
Refrigerating the egg salad helps the flavors meld and ensures it stays fresh. It holds well for several days, providing a convenient option for meal prepping or leftovers.
Ingredients
- 6 egg see directions in post for perfect hard-boiled eggs, hard boiled
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup celery finely diced
- 1 tsp. chives sliced
- white pepper couple dashes
- black pepper several grinds
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Chop and mash hard boiled eggs to your desired consistency. Add all the other ingredients and mix until combined. Refrigerate until needed.
- I like to toast bread, spread it with mayo, sprinkle it with black pepper then pile on the egg salad. Arugula is a wonderful fresh, peppery addition if you like it. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use freshly hard-boiled eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate the egg salad in an airtight container and consume within 3 to 4 days for optimal freshness.
- To assemble a sandwich, lightly toast bread and spread mayonnaise before adding the egg salad and optional peppery greens like arugula.
