Description

A creamy and flavorful egg salad made with the perfect dressing blend of mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings. Ideal for sandwiches, wraps, or served over greens.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel and chop the eggs.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, red onion, chives, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).
  5. Add chopped eggs to the dressing and gently mix until well combined.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

  • Adjust seasonings to taste—add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for tang.
  • Best enjoyed within 2–3 days of making.
