Simple chunky egg salad recipe with mayonnaise, diced eggs, tangy pickles, and crunchy celery.  Serve egg salad on it's own, over fresh salad, or on crackers, bread, or toast.

Ingredients

  • 12 large hard boiled diced eggs, peeled & diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1/3 cup red onions, finely diced
  • 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2/3 cup dill pickles, diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise + more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Place large eggs in a large pot and cover with water by ~ 1 1/2 ".  Turn the heat to high, set a timer for 18 minutes, and cover pot.  When eggs begin to boil, reduce heat to a simmer and boil uncovered.  
  • Drain, run under cool water or place in ice bath to cool (this also makes them easier to peel generally).  Peel and chunk eggs.
  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and gently stir.  
  • Add more mayonnaise and mustard to desired consistency and taste.  
  • Add salt to taste. Serve on toasted bread, over greens, or just grab a spoon.

Notes

  • Wanna bulk up this egg salad recipe?  Add potatoes or cooked macaroni and you've got a lot of food to take to a potluck.
  • Add chopped parsley or dill to change it up if you like.
  • Eggs aren’t peeling and playing nice?  Bummer…  You have fresh eggs and that makes them hard to peel.  Take a breathe and do the best you can.  The best advice for the most consistency I can give is to plunge the cooked eggs in ice water and let sit at least 20 minutes.  Gently try to crack the whole egg with a lot of gentle pushes on the shell.  When it's all cracked, find your opening and peel away.
  • Older eggs are generally easier to peel, so use your older eggs first.
  • Higher elevations may need to add a couple more minutes to the timer as it takes longer for water to boil.
