🥚 Creamy, rich, and perfectly seasoned—egg salad should never be bland or dry! Whether you’re making sandwiches, wraps, or a simple side, these pro tips and secrets will take your egg salad from basic to extraordinary.
The Secret to the Best Egg Salad
1. Perfectly Cooked Eggs
Steam, don’t boil! Place eggs in a steamer basket over boiling water for 12 mins for tender, easy-to-peel eggs.
Ice bath immediately – Stops cooking and prevents rubbery yolks.
2. The Creamiest Dressing
Use a mix of mayo AND Greek yogurt (or sour cream) – Adds tang and richness without being overly heavy.
A touch of mustard – Dijon or whole grain for depth.
A splash of pickle juice or lemon juice – Brightens the flavor.
