Ingredients
- 6 eggs hard-boiled or medium-boiled (I prefer medium-boiled)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
- 3 Tablespoons finely minced dill pickles
- 1 Tablespoon dill pickle brine
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or, to taste
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon black pepper or, to taste
Instructions
- Dice Eggs. To start, dice or slice boiled eggs into small pieces. (I like using an egg slicer to speed things along.)
- Combine. In a medium bowl, combine diced eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, pickle brine, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine well.
- Taste and Adjust, adding more salt, pepper, or pickle brine as desired. Garnish with chives, fresh herbs, etc., as desired.
- Serve & Store. Enjoy right away on bread, toast, crackers, lettuce wraps, cucumber slices, and more. Or, store egg salad mixture in an airtight container up to 3 days. Keep in mind that egg salad should be refrigerated as much as possible. Do not keep egg salad out at room temperature longer than 2 hours (or 90 minutes on a warm day!).
Notes
Ingredient Notes:
- Paleo. To make this as paleo egg salad, use paleo-approved mayo and pickles.
- Mayo. You can lighten this up by using half mayonnaise and half plain Greek yogurt, if desired.
- Relish. If you prefer, you can swap sweet relish or sweet pickles & sweet pickle brine in for the dill pickles. I just love the flavor of dill!
Variations:
- Curry Egg Salad - 2 eggs, 1 1/2 Tbsp mayo, 1 tsp mustard (optional), 1 tsp lemon juice and a pinch (about 1/8 tsp) yellow curry powder. Salt and pepper, to taste.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning Egg Salad - Make as directed above. Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning mixture. (You can add pickles or omit them, as desired)
- BLT Egg Salad - Make as directed above. Serve on a piece of toast with lettuce, egg salad, and a garnish of cooked, crumbled bacon and diced or sliced tomatoes.
