How to Make Egg Salad

Egg salad is a classic lunch dish. Put it on a sandwich, pita, crackers, or eat it straight from the dish!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Eggs
• Mayonnaise
• Mustard
• Sweet Pickle Juice

1. Boil the eggs (3 eggs is about enough for two sandwiches).

2. Peel the eggs and chop into pieces.

3. Mix in about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of mayo for every 3 eggs (This is where I follow in my grandmother's footsteps...just add enough until it looks right!)

4. Add appx (again, eyeball it) 1/2 tsp mustard for every three eggs.

5. Here is the secret--add about a 1/2 a tsp of sweet pickle juice for every three eggs.

6. Mix together (I use a fork, my mother uses a pastry blender, and my sister uses a food processor).

7. Enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• Try adding some shredded cheddar cheese before you mix it together for a tasty variation!
• My favorite way to eat egg salad is in a toasted pita pocket. Yum!

on 10/11/2008 Mustard! That's what I've been missing! I was going off of memory, finally decided to look up a recipe, and BAM you've given me what it was I was missing. Thanks!

on 9/17/2008 Sounds delicious. Which type of mustard do you usually use? I prefer Dijon Mustard over yellow. It adds a different flavor and a little spiciness.
