How to Make the Best Egg Salad Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Egg Salad: Large eggs, celery, green onions, dill pickles or pickle relish, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, black pepper, granulated garlic and dill.
• Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: A large pot or saucepan to cook the eggs, sharp knife and chopping board, spoons, measuring cups and spoons, whisk and mixing bowl. You can also use an egg cooker, if you have one handy.
• If you’d like to make a half batch or if you’d like to use more than a full dozen of eggs, you most certainly can. All of the ingredients can easily be adapted to your taste.
• You can use the same amount of light mayonnaise to lighten the calories.
• Be certain when peeling the eggs that all shell has been completely removed. It’s helpful to rinse them under warm water after peeling to be sure.
• You can use yellow mustard, whole grain mustard or Dijon mustard in this recipe. I’ve also used honey mustard in this recipe for a hint of sweetness. Use horseradish mustard for a slight heat.
• Dill pickles or dill pickle relish will lend a more savory flavor to the egg salad. Sweet pickle relish will add a slight sweetness. It’s perfectly fine to go with your personal preference.
• Serve homemade Egg Salad on your favorite artisan breads, croissants, as an appetizer with crackers or fresh vegetables for dipping. You can also pile it onto slider rolls dressed with crunchy lettuce and tomatoes for snacking and casual meals.
• Store prepared Egg Salad thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
