Creamy Egg Salad -A Flavorful Twist on a Classic Salad
Tips for creamy Egg Salad:
Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs:
To ensure easy peeling and avoid greenish yolks, start with eggs that are at least a week old. After boiling, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Customize the Dressing of the Creamy Egg salad:
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to your taste preferences. For a tangier flavor, add more mustard, and for a creamier texture, increase the amount of mayonnaise.
Add Fresh Herbs:
Enhance the flavor of your egg salad by adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill. These herbs not only add brightness but also complement the creamy texture of the salad.
Make your Creamy Egg Salad Ahead:
Egg salad can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. This makes it a convenient option for meal prep or for packing lunches.
Serve with Bread or Greens:
Enjoy you egg salad as a sandwich filling between two slices of bread, or serve it over a bed of mixed greens for a lighter option. It’s also delicious wrapped in a tortilla or served on crackers for a snack.
