Here’s a simple and healthy guide for making homemade egg salad:
🥗 Homemade Egg Salad Recipe
Egg salad is creamy, protein-packed, and versatile—perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or as a salad topping.
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 4–6 large eggs
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 tsp mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1–2 tbsp finely chopped celery (optional, for crunch)
- 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion or chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of paprika or dill for extra flavor
👩🍳 Instructions
- Boil the eggs
- Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water
- Bring to a boil, then simmer 9–12 minutes
- Drain and transfer to cold water to cool completely
- Peel and chop
- Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces
- Mix the salad
- In a bowl, combine chopped eggs, mayonnaise (or yogurt), mustard, celery, onion/chives
- Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs/spices
- Mix until creamy but not completely smooth—you want some texture
- Serve
- On whole-grain bread for a sandwich
- In lettuce wraps for a low-carb option
- As a topping for crackers or fresh greens
💡 Tips
- Make it ahead: Egg salad tastes even better after chilling for 30–60 minutes
- Add flavor: Try pickle relish, avocado, or a squeeze of lemon
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days
