Why You’ll Love This Egg Salad

Tips for Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
Achieving the creamiest egg salad starts with hard-boiled eggs that peel easily and have bright yellow yolks. A Rapid Egg Cooker streamlines the process, ensuring evenly cooked eggs with minimal effort. Simply add water, place the eggs, and let the cooker work its magic. If you prefer stovetop methods, use a Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 for clean, efficient slicing afterwards.
The Creamiest Base: Mixing Your Dressing
For a luscious dressing that clings to every piece of egg, whisk mayonnaise with a touch of Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. If you enjoy a lower-fat option, try blending half Greek yogurt with half mayo in a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black for a silky-smooth consistency in seconds.
Chopping and Assembling—Fast!
Keep prep speedy and uniform by dicing eggs and veggies with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. This tool ensures consistent pieces for an egg salad that’s as attractive as it is delicious. Combine eggs, chopped celery, scallions, and the creamy dressing, folding gently to retain a chunky, appealing texture.
