A classic recipe that is perfect for lunch. My mom always made egg salad for us growing up all the time. It’s super inexpensive, simple to make, and tastes amazing. This classic version is her way of making it. Just mayo, mustard, and some seasonings. I love to serve it on a salad, wrap, or on bread as a sandwich. No matter how you serve it I think you will love this classic and simple egg salad recipe.

Totally delicious. Just like my Mom used to make for me growing up. Thanks for the great recipe Jennie!
So glad you like it! Enjoy!
I added a little bit of pickle juice and about 2 stalks of celery. Delish!
I love pickle juice! That would be a tasty addition!
Delicious! We added 1/2 tsp of regular mustard and half with Dijon.
Nice! Sounds good!
Do you chop the eggs at all?
I guess so. When I get to the mixing part of the recipe, I just chop/mash them all at the same time.
How long can you keep egg salad in the fridge in a sealed container?
It should be good in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Do u need to add anything else for some crunch?
I don’t add anything else but if you like a crunch you can add something. Let me know how you like it! I love hearing the new things people add.
Do you use dry mustard, yellow mustard or Dijon mustard for this recipe?
Hi Jennifer, I used yellow mustard for this recipe!
