This Egg Salad Recipe is perfect for having at Summer holidays, gatherings, or any time of the year. You can also make this standby Egg Salad Recipe for a delicious, protein-packed, quick lunch. (only 6 required ingredients, makes 4 servings)

Ingredients

12 large hard boiled eggs, peeled, chilled, chopped
1/4-1/2 cup mayonnaise, or to taste
1 teaspoon Kosher salt, for salting the water when boiling the eggs
1/2 cup celery, washed, chopped
1/4 cup sweet onion, chopped

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt, or to taste, for the egg salad
1/4 cup fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon white wine vinegar, or to taste, optional
paprika , to taste

Instructions

Preparing Hard-Boiled Eggs

Prepare the hard-boiled eggs, bring salted water to a boil, carefully add the eggs. Bring water down to a simmer, have the pot uncovered and allow the eggs to sit in the water for 9-11 minutes. (the time can differ depending on your stove, I have an electric stove and it takes 10-11 minutes for hard-boiled eggs). When the eggs are done, remove them from the water and put them in a bowl in the refrigerator to cool. When the eggs are cool, peel the eggs, rinse and dry to make sure all the shell is removed. Discard shells. Chop the eggs and put them in a large mixing bowl.

Egg Salad Recipe

In the large mixing bowl with chopped eggs, add the celery, sweet onion, mayonnaise, fresh dill, Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, optional white wine vinegar, and optional paprika to taste. Mix until combined. Serve right away or refrigerate for at least a 1/2 hour or overnight before serving to allow the ingredients to come together. Enjoy!
