Description
This classic, deli-style egg salad requires only a few kitchen staples and the time it takes it to hard-boil and peel eggs. Seasoned simply with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper, it makes for a delicious sandwich piled on toasted bread, or a quick snack with crackers. Chop the hard-boiled eggs finely for a smooth, creamy texture, or coarsely for larger pieces of egg in each bite. This basic recipe can be dressed up with whatever green herbs you have on hand, or add a handful of finely chopped celery for some crunch. Use this simple method for cooking eggs to the hard-boiled stage and running them under cool water if using right away.
