How to Make Egg Salad

Step 1 – Cut eggs in half. Remove yolks and chop egg whites.

Step 2 – Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard and kosher salt & black pepper to taste until smooth and creamy in a bowl.

Step 3 – Add remaining ingredients and stir egg salad mixture well.

Step 4 – Serve on slices of bread or with a slice of lettuce and topped with fresh parsley.

Recipe Tips

• Hard Boiled Eggs – Make the hard boiled eggs ahead of time to save time on the stovetop over high heat. Cook the eggs in a rolling boil of hot water.
• Combining Ingredients – We recommend to combine the ingredients thoroughly. You may use a potato masher for best results. Chop the veggies about the same size to help with serving.
