Hard boiled eggs, celery, red pepper and green onion come together in my Favorite Egg Salad. Great for sandwiches or enjoying straight from the bowl.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
With Easter just around the corner, I’m expecting to have an excess of hard boil eggs. If I don’t use them to make Deviled Eggs, then I’ll be definitely be using them to make egg salad.
Thanks for posting this! I made it this afternoon and it was just right. I really liked the celery, and the lemon juice was perfect. Wished i had the red bell pepper, but no worries, I’ll definitely be making this again!

There’s nothing quite like a good egg salad sandwich. It’s one of those things I’ll get a craving for…..but not just any egg salad. It’s got to be a good egg salad.
Trust me, not all egg salads are equal, and after trying many, many egg salad recipes over the years, I’ve settled on this one as my favorite. I really love all the color and crunch that the fresh veggies add. And the seasonings are just right.
Of course, you don’t have to make sandwiches out of your egg salad. Eating it straight from the bowl is perfectly acceptable too.
In my opinion, perfect egg salad starts with perfect hard boiled eggs. This is how I make mine:
Place your eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat and set the timer for 15 minutes.
When time is up, drain the water from the pan and run cold water over the eggs to stop the cooking. I like to throw in a few ice cubes. Once your eggs are cool, you can peel them and chop them up for egg salad.
If you’re a fan of egg salad, I hope you love this recipe as much as I do!

Nevermind
Hot and Crusty Bakery chain that, unfortunately, no longer exists in NYC made no mayo version of this recipe, I suspect they also may had not used lemon juice and mustard, maybe used a dash of oil to hold the rest of the ingredients together. They then rolled the salad into wheat wraps. Outstanding!

I love egg salad sandwiches especially with crisp bacon and a handful of baby spinach. so good! I’ve been wanting to make some too, but only have a couple eggs in the house. I see a grocery store run in my future!

I love egg salad sandwiches! I haven’t had them in a long time, and there are some things in your recipe that are different than mine. But yours sounds lovely!
