Simple and Classic Is The Tastiest Choice
When it comes to a delicious salad for a sandwich, there are the classics: chicken salad, tuna salad and of course, egg salad. Every family seems to have their own version of each, and generation after generation continues to make it the exact same way. For our family, egg salad is actually called “egg and olive salad” because my grandma made it with lots of green olives, as does my mom, and it is hands down my favorite. But I enjoy a traditional egg salad sandwich too, and if you’re in need of some new lunch ideas, or want to switch up your next soup and sammy combo for an easy supper, this classic egg salad recipe is exactly what you are looking for.

How To Make Egg Salad
- In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper.
2. Coarsely chop the eggs. Use a board scrape to transfer them to medium bowl.
3. Mix chopped eggs with dressing. Combine well, but gently. Chill for 1 hour before serving. (This isn’t absolutely vital, but I do think it has better flavor after sitting for a bit.) Serve on good sandwich bread, toast, croissants, with crackers, etc.
If I am serving this to others, I like to garnish with a little parsley for color. I set out the bowl of egg salad along with bread, crackers and sandwich toppings, so everyone can build their perfect bite. If you have been craving a great egg salad, I just know this classic, simple version will really hit the spot!
