Deluxe Classic Egg Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.25 cup celery, finely diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 tsp garlic powder
• 1 Prise salt to taste
• 1 Prise pepper to taste
• 0.25 cup sweet pickle relish (optional)
• 1 Prise microgreens for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by placing the eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 9-12 minutes (adjust time based on how well you like your yolks cooked).
3. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. After the timer goes off, transfer the eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
4. Once cool, peel the eggs under running water to make the process easier. After peeling, finely chop the eggs and place them in a mixing bowl.
5. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, lemon juice, celery, red onion, garlic powder, and sweet pickle relish (if using) to the bowl with the eggs.
6. Mix everything carefully until combined, ensuring you don’t over-mash the eggs for a lovely texture.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency if necessary by adding a bit more mayonnaise or lemon juice as per your preference.
8. Chill the egg salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
