Super Simple Egg Salad


You know how you get a craving for a certain food and it just won't go away? Well I've been craving egg salad for about a week and a half. I finally got around to making it tonight. I don't have a recipe for some sophisticated egg salad. Just the basics in this case!


Super Simple Egg Salad


4 eggs, hard boiled, chopped

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 stalks celery, finely chopped

1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

3 Tbsp. light mayo

salt and pepper to taste


Mix! Chill for 30 minutes and serve on lettuce or toast.


Like I said, nothing fancy but it'll do just fine. I usually eat a fried egg over easy with toast which is pretty plain. I occasionally like scrambled eggs or vegetable omelets but I tend to lean towards simplicity when it comes to eggs. Sometimes I like hot sauce. Maybe some cayenne pepper would add a little punch to the egg salad. Does anybody have any ideas to make egg salad a little more distinct?

  1. The only problem I have with that is the Dijon Mustard. I really don't like spicy mustard.

  2. Dijon does have a bit of a different taste to it. I thought about putting in the plain yellow mustard but the Dijon was calling me. I just recently learned that it's made w/ white wine.

  4. I love adding all sorts of stuff to my egg salad! Celery salt, ground mustard seed, cumin . . . not necessarily all at the same time, LOL, but they all mix it up just a bit. I also like to use chopped green onion sometimes. Mmmm. Sounds like a lunch plan for tomorrow. Great pics, thanks for the inspiration!
