  • This may hands down be the best egg salad recipe of all time and is jam-packed with onion, celery, garlic, pickles, and mayonnaise on toasted bread. You will be blown away at just how good this is.
    Egg salad is a simple bound salad consisting of diced hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, seasonings, and vegetables. It is incredibly simple to make and a great recipe to use if you have a lot of leftover hard-boiled eggs.
    Egg Salad has been around since the late 19th century and was adapted early on with the use of mayonnaise, transitioning from butter. They became popular throughout the United States because it was easy to make with always in-season ingredients, and it was high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
    There is nothing overly fancy about the egg salad but can be customized to your liking and your budget.

    My mom always chopped the eggs with a fork and added chopped stuffed green olives. The pimento and olives bring it to another level. Yum!

    OMG. I have been struggling with making hard boiled eggs my entire life and I just tried your method (bring to boil, add eggs, cook for 6 minutes, cover/sit for 6 minutes and ice water for 5, and roll the eggs) AND I’m so thrilled to say that not one egg was mangled in the process of peeling them!!! I LOVE YOU!! Thank you so much for this tip!! 👏👏

      Coming abroad from Russia I was shocked to see that most people don't know how to boil and cool fast eggs after cooking to make peeling easier...you don't need ice....just drain out hot water and put pot with eggs under runing tab water....or just soak in cold tab water - it would work as well...now there r egg cooker, which make them cook on steam and they have timer too...since eggs are cooked on steam, the moment it switches off eggs start cooling ...it works well also ( no need of stove or lots of water)

    Hi Billy! I used to use the egg slicer the same way you do. Then I discovered using a pastry cutter! It’s great and a lot faster. If it’s only a two or three eggs I put them in a small low sided bowl. If more than that, I use a high sided pie dish. Going to try your recipe tomorrow!! Ciao!

    In 1997 I was working at a place called the Old Consulate Inn in Port Townsend, WA. Our supervisor & the owner of the joint was rash & unreasonable in many ways but one summer day she told me & my colleague to boil & peel 6 dozen eggs for egg salad tea sandwiches. We were gobsmacked. However, somehow, I realized that we could boil the eggs, plunge them in a cold bath, crack & roll the shells...and they'd just slip off.
    What a relief!! The rest of the salad was a breeze.
    p.s. I lost my egg slicer like yours, so I use my potato masher.

And make the fixings in another bowl, and add a bit at a time to the eggs until the proportions feel right. Thanks Chef for your guide into better cooking.

    Looks fantastic. Cant really dig the old school 70’s/80’s pool side egg salad with big chunks of everything we hated as a kid and love now tho!👍🏻🤘🏼

    I like bigger egg chunks. It gives it a hefty chew. No need for that wire thingy if you go big. Thanks for the recipe!
