Your best egg salad recipe?

[mommylikestattoos]

We decorated Easter eggs this evening, now I have a dozen hard boiled eggs I need to do something with in the next few days. I tried making egg salad once and it was just mediocre. Share with me your favorite recipe pretty please?

TYIA!

This is an egg/potato salad recipe, but one that's easily changed. It's not an exact recipe, because it's from a friend's grandmother who doesn't use a recipe. I'll see if I can approximate it.

This makes a huge bowl. It also has a high egg/potato ratio. The potatoes could easily be omitted if you want a straight egg salad.

One dozen eggs, hard-boiled, roughly chopped
10-12 fingerling or baby red potatoes, boiled and peeled, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
3/4 cup mayo (or more to suit your taste)
1/4 green relish
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill
1 teaspoon celery salt
Liberal pinch of black pepper, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika

I think that's it. The relish sounds weird, and this isn't a super traditional recipe, but it's yummy.

I make egg salad sandwiches a bunch. I like it simple. Use a fork to smash up the eggs, add mayonnaise to get it to the texture you like. The add a small squirt of yellow mustard, a little bit of pickle relish and salt and pepper. Eat on toasted bread. Yum. Now I want some!

i use an egg slicer contraption and slice the egg twice (once lengthwise and then turn it the other way and slice again) then add mayo to the texture i like, then salt and pepper.

I hate mayo so I smush up a ripe avocado as the binder. Just that with eggs, salt, and pepper. Sooo good.

I use the ingredients from deviled eggs- a little grated onion, mayo, Worcestershire sauce, dry and Dijon mustard, a about 1 tsp of dill pickle brine.

This is how I do it too. H likes mustard in his egg salad.

Eggs, mayo, salt, pepper, celery seed, onions, diced bacon, and a splash of vinegar.

I just made some last week: 6 hardboiled eggs diced with about 1/2 cup low fat sweet mayo (so miracle whip), 2 tablespoons of relish, and about 2 stalks of celery diced with just a little bit of salt and pepper.
Next time I might add a little dill (maybe 1tsp).
