Here’s a classic and simple recipe for old-fashioned egg salad:
Ingredients:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions or chives (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Eggs: Hard-boil the eggs by placing them in a saucepan and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes. Once done, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely before peeling and chopping.
- Chop the Eggs: Once the eggs are cooled and peeled, chop them into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Mix with Mayonnaise and Mustard: Add the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to the chopped eggs. Start with 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and adjust to your desired consistency. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Season: Taste the egg salad and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. You can also add a sprinkle of fresh parsley, chopped green onions, or chives for extra flavor if desired.
- Serve: Serve the egg salad immediately as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or on a bed of lettuce. You can also refrigerate it for later use.
Enjoy your old-fashioned egg salad!
