This is Leo’s ultimate, creamy, and classic egg salad recipe from Savory Skies. We focus on achieving the perfect texture with a flavorful dressing, offering tips so you can easily customize it for your taste, whether you prefer dill, Dijon, or a keto-friendly version.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (full fat recommended for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion (optional, for sharpness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Place the hard-boiled eggs in a bowl. Coarsely chop them with a knife or mash them gently with a fork. You want a mix of textures—some small pieces and some larger chunks.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the chopped celery, red onion (if using), and fresh dill (if using) to the dressing mixture. Stir well to combine.
  4. Gently fold the chopped eggs into the dressing mixture. Work carefully to keep some texture in the eggs.
  5. Season the salad with salt and pepper. Taste it. Adjust seasoning or add more mustard/mayo if you desire a richer flavor or creamier texture.
  6. For the best flavor, cover the egg salad and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This lets the flavors meld.
  7. Serve your egg salad on toasted bread, crackers, in lettuce cups, or as a side dish.

Notes

  • For a Keto option, substitute regular mayonnaise with a keto-friendly brand or use mashed avocado mixed with a little olive oil and lemon juice instead of some of the mayo.
  • If you like a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar or pickle relish.
  • To achieve a very creamy texture, mash about one-third of the eggs completely before mixing the rest in chunky pieces.
  • For meal prep, store the egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
