How to Serve Egg Salad

Though the salad may be enjoyed as a side dish, it is rather versatile. Enjoy these other variations:

Egg Salad Sandwiches – Serve the egg salad as a sandwich between bread slices, in a croissant, as an open-faced sandwich, or even stuffed in a wrap or Pita Bread.
Stuffed Avocado – stuff the salad into a halved avocado and serve.
Lettuce wrap – Add to lettuce cups or Romaine and enjoy as lettuce wraps as we did with our Chicken Salad.
Breakfast sandwich – Load salad onto English Muffins for an easy Breakfast Sandwich.

How to Store Egg Salad?

Leftover egg salad should be stored covered in the refrigerator and can last 3-5 days. It should not be left at room temperature longer than 2 hours.

Pro Tip:

If you refrigerate the salad, be sure to taste it before serving. Refrigerating tends to make the flavors more subtle as they meld together, so add some salt and seasoning to taste.

Cook eggs and cool. Once cooled, peel and chop eggs (we like ours chunky) and place into a salad bowl.
Add finely chopped celery, red onion, dill and chives.
In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the dressing. Gently stir the dressing into the egg salad until coated and serve.
