Ingredients Needed
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus extra for serving)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (plus extra for serving)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (plus extra for serving)
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 12 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (plus extra for serving)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Sliced bread or crackers (for serving)
How To Make Egg Salad
- Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne (if using) until smooth and well-combined.
- Prepare the Egg Salad: Coarsely chop the hard-boiled eggs and gently fold them into the dressing. Add in the red onion, chopped pickles, chives, and dill, stirring until everything is well mixed.
- Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve: When ready to serve, sprinkle with additional chives, salt, pepper, and paprika. Enjoy on sandwiches, with crackers, or straight from the bowl!
Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Eggs: For the best texture, make sure your eggs are fresh. Older eggs can be harder to peel and may affect the creaminess of the salad.
- Chill Before Serving: Let the egg salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and makes the salad taste even better.
- Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the salad before serving and adjust the salt, pepper, and paprika to your liking for the perfect balance of flavors.
- Finely Chop Ingredients: Finely chop the onion, pickles, and herbs so they blend well into the salad and you get a bite of everything in each spoonful.
- Try Different Add-ins: For extra flavor, try adding chopped celery, a dash of hot sauce, or even a bit of lemon juice to customize the salad to your taste.
How To Store Leftovers
Transfer leftover egg salad to an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
