Looking for a classic egg salad recipe? You found it! This easy egg salad takes just minutes to make.
Start off with my perfect hard boiled eggs. They come out perfectly cooked every time! It’s such a reliable recipe, it even made it in The Rose Table Cookbook. Then whisk mayonnaise – okay, trade secret here: I actually used half Greek yogurt, half mayonnaise and it was perfect – with some pickle delish (dill, NOT sweet), Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste then stir in a little fresh dill. So easy!
This egg salad will keep for several days in the fridge and makes about four sandwiches. Plus, this recipe easily doubles. If you can’t find champagne vinegar, white wine vinegar is the next best thing.
