    Classic Egg Salad is a simple , quick and easy egg salad made with boiled eggs , mayonnaise , dijon mustard , herbs and seasoning. It's gets ready within 15 minutes.

    It’s packed with protein and nutrients, so make it often, eat it more ! It is great to serve along side of toast or to make some delicious egg sandwiches or wraps. You can also eat just like that with a fork and complete the bowl , as I often do.

    Eggs for breakfast are must for me ,either I'll end up eating some boiled eggs , make some scrambled eggs , Frittata or Oats Omlette .

    Hard boiled eggs and mayonnaise are the only two main ingredients here. Other ingredients are added to enhance the taste, texture and flavor of this salad.

    Mayonnaise - Full fat Mayonnaise works well with this recipe. You can use any flavored Mayonnaise if you wish . But my personal favorite is garlic flavored Mayonnaise.

    Dijon Mustard is used here but if not available you can go for yellow mustard also.

    Other Ingredients - Onion , Herbs , Lime juice and seasonings are used.

    Top Tip

    Perfectly boiled eggs are key to this salad. Those 12 minutes boiled eggs with deep yellow color yolk works best for this salad. Don't use over cooked eggs to make this salad.

    Chilled hard boiled eggs , works good here in this salad.

    • Add herbs like chives and dill leaves for more robust and depth of flavors .

    FAQ's

    Not recommended . As boiled and chopped eggs gets drier, a creamy ingredient is important to bring eggs and everything else together. If not mayo , you can use mayo alternatives to make creamy and healthy egg salad recipe.

    What are Mayo alternatives , in this recipe ?

    Some of the mayo alternatives for creamier salads are – Greek Yogurt , Ricotta Cheese and Mashed avocado too

    Can I store left over Egg Salad ?

    Yes , you can store in clean air tight containers covered in fridge.

    How To Make Egg Salad Sandwich or Wraps?

    Fresh bread is great for making egg salad sandwiches. Place any salad leaf over toasted bread. Spread heaped tablespoon full of the salad mix over the toasted bread. Place the top bread and serve it.
