Egg Salad Recipe

recip



1. Prep the Eggs

  • Hard-boil eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit 10–12 minutes.
  • Cool in ice water; peel and chop finely.

2. Mix Gently

  • In a bowl, combine mayo, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Fold in chopped eggs, relish (or celery), and herbs.
  • Taste and adjust—more mustard for tang, more mayo for creaminess.

3. Chill & Serve

  • Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (flavors meld beautifully).
  • Serve chilled.
