This is the best, easy egg salad recipe you will make. It results in a perfectly creamy, flavorful filling ideal for quick lunches, meal prep, or classic egg salad sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (use good quality for best flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery (for crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (optional, for tang)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (optional, for freshness)

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled, hard-boiled eggs in a large bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to coarsely mash the eggs. For a creamier texture, mash until only small chunks remain.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, celery, sweet pickle relish (if using), salt, and pepper to the bowl.
  3. Gently fold all ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix, or the salad will become watery.
  4. Stir in the fresh dill, if using.
  5. Taste the egg salad and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  6. For the best flavor and texture, cover the bowl and chill the egg salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  7. Serve immediately on your favorite bread for an ultimate egg salad sandwich, or use as a side dish.

Notes

  • For the creamiest egg salad, ensure your eggs are completely cooled before mixing. Warm eggs release moisture when mixed with mayonnaise.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to the mixture.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; it keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
