Egg Salad Recipe

This is the easiest egg salad and the perfect way to use up leftover Easter eggs. You’ll love the short list of ingredients but it’s all you need to make one amazing salad: hard-boiled eggs, herbs, celery, and crisp onion in the creamiest dressing.

This can be served in so many different ways – as a side salad, on toast, etc (see more ideas below). This traditional salad is simple, satisfying and a perfect additon to your Easter menu.

Ingredients for Egg Salad

Though this is a simple recipe and uses basic ingredients, it tastes amazing. If you want to dress it up and make it fancier, try these add-ins:

  • Protein- such as crispy bacon, chicken or shrimp.
  • Veggies- tomatoes, cucumbers or carrots are great options. We also love dill pickle egg salad.
  • Avocado- can either be cubed and added to the salad or blended with the dressing to replace some of the mayo.

Pro Tip: If you will be adding other ingredients to the salad, prepare a larger portion of the dressing.

Chopped ingredients in individual bowls before mixing.

How to Make Egg Salad

Homemade egg salad doesn’t get any easier than this. Just be sure your eggs have cooled completely before preparing the salad or make them ahead and refrigerate until ready to use.

  1. Boil eggs and cool then cut into desired pieces (we like ours chunky for better texture)
  2. Finely chop the celery and red onion (sweet onion may be substituted for red onion)
  3. Chop the chives (or green onions) and fresh dill
  4. Prepare homemade dressing – stir the ingredients together in a bowl
  5. Mix salad well to combine and coat in the dressing

How to Cook Eggs for Egg Salad?

No matter if you boil your eggs on the stove or in the instant pot, be sure they are hard-boiled, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs end up with a green ring around the yolk. Follow these tutorials for perfect hard-boiled eggs every time:

The Best Dressing for Egg Salad

The dressing in any salad can really make or break a recipe. This awesome creamy dressing adds so much flavor to the simple salad. Eggs never tasted so good!

  • In a bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  • Mix until the dressing is creamy and ingredients are well incorporated.

Are Eggs Good for You?

Eggs are are an inexpensive, healthy, high-quality protein. We love recipes where eggs are the star ingredient like these incredible Deviled Eggs with Bacon and Egg Muffins.

Eggs are nutrient-dense, have zero carbs, no sugar, and will keep you feeling good throughout the day. Egg yolks are rich in choline which is important for brain and liver health. Eggs also contain lutein which benefits eye health.

How to Serve Egg Salad

Though the salad may be enjoyed as a side dish, it is rather versatile. Enjoy these other variations:

  • Egg Salad Sandwich – Serve the egg salad as a sandwich between bread slices, in a croissant, as an open-faced sandwich, or even stuffed in a wrap or pita.
  • Stuffed Avocado – stuff the salad into a halved avocados and serve.
  • Lettuce wrap – Add to lettuce cups or Romaine and enjoy as lettuce wraps.
  • Breakfast sandwich – Load salad onto toast for an easy breakfast sandwich.

How to Store Egg Salad?

Leftover egg salad should be stored covered in the refrigerator and can last 3-5 days. It should not be left at room temperature longer than 2 hours.

Pro Tip: If you refrigerate the salad, be sure to taste it before serving. Refrigerating tends to make the flavors more subtle as they meld together, so add some salt and seasoning to taste.

    I love the comment about if you refrigerate egg salad the flavor becomes more subtle, test to see if more salt and pepper need to be added. Did not know this.

    LOVE the InstaPot egg salad recipe with the easy peel eggs. And diagram you included for hardness of different minute yolks.

    I usually put curry powder in mine. It adds so much flavour.
    Also gives them a taste that is distinctively different from the cold salads that they often accompany. Will try avacado next with the curry powder.

    When I boil my eggs. No matter how many eggs! Add enough cool water to cover the eggs. a pinch of salt (this prevents any cracked egg from running).
    Cover and bring to a full boil
    Turn off heat and let set 10 minutes. Perfect every time.
    *note. Make sure the eggs are covered with the water.

    So I always have boiled eggs in the fridge but for whatever reason I decided to make egg salad.

    And I’ve never had egg salad before! It never appealed to me, with due diligence I looked at recipes and read comments from those who ACTUALLY made it.

    I decided to make this one and since I have nothing to compare it to and played with the measurements (it being for only me). Made it and let it rest for a few hours in the fridge before tasting. It was delicious!

    Thank you!

    Hadn’t made egg salad in years but found a recipe that called for mixing the mashed yolks into the dressing, then adding the chopped whites…it was great! I think it would work on your recipe as well! All that said, my potato salad is half eggs and I always use cucumbers in it so to the person who asked if cukes could be used instead of celery, I say YES!

      Hi Terri, I recommend reading through the entire recipe post. We are referring to the creamy garlic Dijon mayo dressing.

      I am willing to try a new approach to a great sounding dressing with Mayo Lemon Juice Paprika Dijon mustard and garlic clove sounds like a great dressing TERRi

    This seriously is the best egg salad I’ve had. I used 1/2 duck eggs and 1/2 reg eggs (from my chickens and ducks!)and threw in one little shallot that I wanted to use up but otherwise made it exactly as your recipe! My regular go to recipe has dill relish & shredded carrots in it and it was difficult to not want to put it in. But I wanted something different and this is now my new “go to” recipe! 😍

    I have watched your demonstrations. I enjoy them very much. Thanks for bringing them to us. I am going to try the egg salad. I save my pickle juice from dills and use the brine to pickle hard boiled eggs. For an extra touch, I’ll add a can or two of red beets to the brine. The egg shells can be cracked and left on or cracked and peeled to give it that two-tone effect. But the addition of chopped celery sounds nice. A cheap HB egg slicer is very handy.

    This egg salad recipe is amazing! I love the flavors and so easy to make since I boiled the eggs the night before.
    My husband who grew up eating salad asked me what is in this bc he never had an egg salad sandwich like this growing up.

      Hi Cindy, if you hover over the servings: “4” section in the recipe card, you can adjust down to 2 servings which would be 4 eggs and it will tell you the rest of the ingredients for 2 servings. I hope that makes sense.

      Oh you should try it. If you are going to make a sandwich with this, place a large scoop of cold salad on the bottom half of a slice of your favorite bread. Cut it in half. Then separately cut the top slice of bread and place it on top of the salad to complete the sandwich. Doing it this way just keeps the salad from squeezing out the sides. I’m going to make mine tonight using a croissant.
