Receta Simple Egg Salad Recipe
We are big egg salad fans. We used to add lots of ingredients, but over time we’ve learned to hold back. We’ve found that we enjoy egg salad more the fewer ingredients we add. A little mayonnaise for moisture, celery for crunch, herbs for freshness and a spritz of lemon to brighten things up. Simple.
Simplified Egg Salad Recipe
Egg salad starts with hard boiled eggs. If you’re usure of how to make them, check out our step-by-step tutorial. Basically, you add eggs to water in a saucepan, bring to a simmer, cover and then take off of the heat. The eggs continue to cook for about 12 minutes and they’re done.
We usually plunge the eggs into cold water to cool them down then peel.
From there, chop the eggs finely and add to a bowl with a little mayonnaise, celery, herbs (we like chives) and lemon juice. Stir until combined then season with salt and pepper. Done.
