Mama’s Recipe Box: Simply Delicious Egg Salad

By Bonnie Owens on April 7th, 2010

Chances are you have cooked eggs just spilling out of your refrigerator that are left over from Easter morning.  Sure, they are yummy all on their own.  But add a little mayo and a few other ingredients and you have yourself a finger lickin’ good time.  Eat this stuff all on its own or slather it between 2 slices of bread.  Either way, watch yourself because you could easily put it all down in one sitting.  There are a lot of ways that you can get creative when making egg salad.  This particular recipe sticks to tradition, but feel free to pretty it up.

Ingredients:

  • 8 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 red onion, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, dill, paprika, onion and salt and pepper. Mash well with a fork or wooden spoon.
  3. For best results, cover and let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes or more to allow the flavors to combine.
