Simple Egg Salad Recipe

I have never actually measured the amount of mayonnaise I use to make Egg Salad for sandwiches! I always just eyeball it. Putting this recipe together for you was the first time I actually measured!

I grew up eating these sandwiches, usually for picnics and road trips! Except my Mom used Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. We will forever debate which is better!

If you are looking for ideas on what to pack in a picnic lunch, you can make some Macaroni Salad, Strawberry Fluff Salad, Monster Cookie Energy Balls, Best Hummus, Vegetarian Dortitos Taco Salad, Chia Seed Energy Balls, or Cheesy Ranch Crackers to go with!

What You’ll Need:

• 1 dozen Eggs, Hardboiled & Peeled
• 1 tbsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 – 1 cup Mayonnaise
• Salt to Taste
• Bread

How to Make Egg Salad Sandwiches

• Fill a large sauce pan with water and bring to a rolling boil.
• Once reached, add 1 dozen eggs and 1 tbsp baking soda. The water should just cover the eggs.
• Boil the eggs for 15 minutes.
• Drain water and place eggs in a large bowl over ice. Cover with cold water. Let sit for 1 hour. You may need to refresh the water so it’s cold.
• When ready to make the egg salad, peel the eggs and place into a bowl. Make sure any water is drained from rinsing the egg shells off the eggs so the eggs are dry. Mash with a pastry cutter.
• Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and mix until creamy and well combined. Add additional mayonnaise to preferred texture.
• Add salt to taste.
