I am gonna tell you how to make this American classic of egg salad. My husband used to have this a lot for lunches so I figured out to share this recipe with you.
Usually, egg salad comes with a lot of combinations and variations. This is one simple and easy dish which is a combination of chopped hard-boiled eggs and mayonnaise. I bet you this is the perfect combination for bread.
You can use them as a sandwich spread. This dish can be made in different variations. You can add chicken, ham, crab, bacon or anything of your choice instead of eggs.
You can even make this salad more creative by adding cheese, pickles, bell peppers, cucumber, onions, lettuce or capers as add ons to your salad. Come, let’s take a look at how easy and quickly we can make this recipe.
This takes less than 25 mins to make, but I prefer this to be served cold. You can make this dish for a quick lunch, as a picnic side dish or even serve as a salad for dinner. This recipe is perfect to eat all-days in a week.

- This is the main difference between a good and a bad egg salad.
