Everyone seems to have their own take on egg salad with pretty strong opinions on what makes a good one. This is the way I do it.
I consider this a solid base recipe because I am sometimes known to alter the ingredients based on mood and whats available in the fridge. For example, I may substitute the yellow mustard with Dijon or swap out the green onions for dill pickle relish. All ingredient amounts are really “to taste” so play around and find what suits you.
Serve your creation over a big bed of mixed greens, spread it on bread for a classic sandwich, or scoop it right out of the bowl and onto crackers for a tasty snack.
