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 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
- Salt to Taste
- Bread
How to Make Egg Salad for Sandwiches
- Hard boil 1 dozen eggs by covering them with cold water by 1 inch in a sauce pan. Add 1 tsp baking soda to the water to help the eggs peel easily. Turn the heat to medium high and cook until the water is boiling. Once the water is boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let sit in the hot water for 12 minutes. When the time is up, drain the eggs and transfer to a large bowl of ice water. Leave in the ice water for 15 minutes.
- When ready to make the egg salad, peel the eggs and place into a bowl. 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.
