Egg Salad Recipe
This classic Egg Salad recipe is creamy, savory, and delicious. This simple recipe is made with simple ingredients: hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, and chives.
Ingredients
- 8 hard boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- (optional) 1/2 cup celery, chopped, (see note)
- (optional) paprika for serving
- For serving: bread or crackers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the eggs. If you like a creamier texture, mash some of the eggs. Add the remaining ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste. Store chilled until serving. Sprinkle with paprika before serving if desired. Serve on bread or with crackers.
Notes
I like my egg salad very basic but if you like a crunch, add the celery.
