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. 

How to make Egg Salad:

Egg Salad is pretty simple to make. Hard boil the eggs. Once they are cooled and shelled add them to a large bowl for mixing.

Add in the mayo and mustard then mix in the seasoning. You are then ready to serve it!

Ingredient Notes:

• Large Eggs: Whatever egg you usually use to make hardboiled eggs.
• Mayonnaise: I like using real mayo and not miracle whip.
• Mustard
• Seasoning: Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder

Directions:

Step One – Start by boiling your eggs. Peel the boiled eggs and add them to a mixing bowl.

Step Two – In the same mixing bowl add mayonnaise and mustard.

Mix well with a fork mashing eggs while you mix.

Add seasonings to taste and mix together well.

Step Three – Serve on bread, croissants, or on a salad.

• Tip: Try pita pockets or a wrap too!

Tips:

Storing Directions: Refrigerate your egg salad in an airtight container for 3-5 days.

If your egg salad gets watery or loses color those are signs that it might be time to toss it.

Boiling Eggs: Knowing when your egg is ready can be tricky.

I shared a post on a fool-proof way to get the perfect egg each time and how I make peeling even easier, you can find that at How to Boil an Egg.

Timing depends on how cooked you want your egg. I usually will boil my water and then cover and remove from heat and allow them to sit for 10 minutes.
