Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons celery finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
To hardboil the eggs:
- Add the eggs to a medium saucepan and add cold water to where it is just covering the eggs.
- Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let the eggs stand for 15 minutes.
- Remove the eggs to a large bowl with ice water and let the eggs cool.
For the egg salad:
- Peel and chop the eggs and place them in a medium bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Spread on your favorite bread or crackers, or serve on lettuce.
Notes
- Make sure your eggs are fresh for this recipe! Expired eggs will float to the top of the water when you try to cook them, but a fresh egg will sit neatly at the bottom of the pan on its side.
- You can make egg salad in advance. However, it's best to store the egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume it within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
- To prevent your egg salad from becoming watery, make sure to drain the chopped eggs well after boiling and cooling them. Additionally, you can pat them dry with a paper towel before mixing them with the other ingredients.
