EGG SALAD SANDWICH RECIPE

Ingredients

• 8 hardboiled eggs
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• 1 celery rib (approximately ⅓ cup)
• 1 TBS fresh dill
• 1-2 TBS green onion
• 2 tsp. dry mustard
• 1-2 TBS pickle juice (I just dill but you can use what you have on hand)
• salt and pepper to taste (start with ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper.)

How to make hardboiled eggs

For easy hardboiled eggs find a medium size pot and fill it halfway with water.

Bring to a boil. Using a large spoon, gently place 8 eggs into the pot. They should be fully coved with about an inch of water.

Boil for 5-6 minutes.

Turn off heat and continue to cook in the pot for 15 minutes.

Remove eggs and place immediately in ice bath. Allow to cool.

Peal and dice your eggs. You can also mash them with a fork inside the bowl.

Gather the ingredients

In the same bowl with the eggs add;

• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• 1 rib celery
• 1 TBS fresh dill
• 1-2 TBS green onion
• 2 tsp. dry mustard
• 1-2 TBS pickle juice
• salt and pepper to taste

You’ll also want to add salt and pepper to taste. For this I like to start is ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper.

Mix to combine. Use immediately or store in an air tight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

You might notice that this recipe calls for ⅓ cup mayonnaise while most recipes call for ½ cup. Personally, I find that to be too much. I want something creamy but light and fresh. Adding the pickle juice gives it a crispness and allows you to cut back on the mayonnaise.

However, it might depend on the size of your eggs or how easy they are to peel. So if you find ⅓ cup to be a bit dry, try adding a TBS of mayonnaise at a time until it reaches a consistency you like.
