How To Make Egg Salad

Difficulty:

There are a lot of ways to cut up a hard boiled egg. A good way is to use an egg slicer, which makes perfect slices for sandwiches or a garnish. You can use the slicer to slice the egg in both directions and end up with chopped eggs for salad and dip.

If you are going to make egg salad sandwiches, three eggs will be enough for two sandwiches.

Celery and/or green olives are traditional “add-in”s to egg salad.

Be sure to mince the celery (cut it into really small bits) when you are adding them to a salad. Cut the celery length wise into thin strips, and then cut the strips into very small pieces.

Also be sure to slice the olives.

Crispy chopped bacon can add an extra zing to the taste and texture. A dash of curry powder is fantastic when you serve the salad as a dip with crackers and cut up vegetables.

Add a dash of Salt and Pepper

Now add in about 2 T. of mayonnaise, and give it a stir.

That’s it! The egg salad is all made, now just pick your favorite bread and you’ve got yourself a great sandwich!

Enjoy!

Thanks!  Can you do a video on how to peel a boiled egg?  I have the hardest time and most of the egg white comes with the shell. 

Thanks, Erika

Hi Racegrrli, there are a couple of things you can do to make peeling hard cooked eggs easier. 

First try cooking eggs that are about 1 week old.  The fresher the egg the harder it is to peel.

Also make sure the eggs are really cold.  After they have cooked and cooled, stick them in the refrigerator for a few hours before peeling them.

Another great trick is to fill a bowl with cool water, then with a spoon crack the cooked egg several times.  Put the (cooked) cracked eggs in the bowl of water and let them soak for about 10-15 minutes.  The water will seep in and make peeling them much easier.

Good luck!
