Egg Salad

(2 Comments)

Egg salad is another really good reason to keep a couple of boiled eggs in your refrigerator. You can have a quick breakfast or snack by eating a boiled egg, or you can create this egg salad for something a bit more flavorful and filling. It's also easy to fill in a container with egg salad, or add it to a bed of greens or 2 slices of bread for a sandwich.

This recipe was buried in another post about something entirely different so I elevated it to its own page. The bread in the photo is a Cashew Bread recipe, but you can use any of my bread recipes to make an egg salad sandwich. It would go great on a bagel or sandwich rounds.

Egg Salad

Calories 293 kcal

Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
  • 1 stalk celery trimmed and diced into small pieces
  • 1 pickle diced into small pieces
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the eggs in a saucepan with cold water; fill with water until the eggs are immersed.
  • Bring the water to a boil, and gently boil for about 12 minutes.
  • When finished boiling, immerse the eggs in ice cold water to stop boiling them.
  • Let the eggs cool while you prepare the mayonnaise.
  • Peel the shells off the hard-boiled eggs. I find tapping the bottom of the egg on the counter makes a good enough crack to then peel the shell off.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the eggs, and mash the eggs until they break up into small pieces.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients and blend well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Store in the refrigerator for a few days.

    Hi, Erica,
    Wonderful as always. Aren't eggs wonderful!
    I had heard then read about the Japanese Egg Salad Sandwiches--- it turns out that they are made in food processor---- so creamy. I am not sure it appeals to me-- tho it might be neater on a sandwich.
