Description

Make a simple, creamy, and flavorful egg salad perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or serving with crackers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and place them in a medium bowl.
  2. Coarsely chop the eggs with a fork or knife until you reach your desired texture. Some pieces should remain chunky.
  3. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard to the bowl.
  4. Mix gently until the ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix, or the salad will become pasty.
  5. Stir in the chopped celery and chives.
  6. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or pickle relish.
  • If you prefer a lower-fat option, substitute half the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt or mashed avocado.
  • For a Keto version, omit the yellow mustard if it contains added sugar and use dill instead of chives.
