Egg Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Egg salad in a bowl.

Egg salad is a favorite classic. There's nothing easier than mixing hard boiled eggs with a bit of mayonnaise and mustard to make a great sandwich. This is a great way to use up extra hard boiled eggs. 

Small toasted sandwiches on a plate.

Easter is still a few weeks away and I am already planning for leftovers! We tend to dye a lot of Easter eggs and you can only eat so many hard boiled eggs and I just can't let them go to waste.

Egg Salad makes a delicious lunch and uses up some of those hard boiled eggs. 

Egg Salad Sandwiches cut into small wedges.

I have three teenagers and they still love to dye eggs. Heck, I still love to dye eggs! It's so fun watching the eggs transform into a different color. However, they don't really want to hunt for eggs anymore.

Instead they want to hide the eggs for all their younger cousins. No matter hiding or hunting the eggs, everyone seems to have fun.

Small sandwiches filled with egg salad and lettuce.

One of my favorite ways to use this egg salad is with homemade Honey Oat Bread! If you love egg salad, you'll also want to try this delicious Ham Salad.

Another great way to cook hard boiled eggs is Instant Pot Eggs!

    What a beautiful salad Kathy, I haven't made egg salad in some time. Your naturally dyed Easter eggs are so pretty. Going to check that post out too. I love the red bell pepper in this salad! Have a great week and a wonderful Easter if I don't talk to you before.

    Such a classic!! I have never had horseradish in my egg salad, usually cayenne, but will try next time! Love that kick 🙂 P.S. I love potato chips with my egg salad sandwich. So good!

    My husband loves recipe like this, not only because it uses up our hard boiled eggs (and like you alluded too, we'll have a ton from Easter!) but because it's super tasty and quick! Being 8 months prego, he's helping with lots of the the chores these days. Thanks for the inspiration!!
