Description
Egg salad is a terrific go-to lunch option. It is easy to make and offers that extra boost of protein to give you and your family the energy to get through long days of swimming in the pool, playing in the sprinklers, or year-round homeschooling (if that’s your thing).
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 Large Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons Deli Mustard (or Dijon)
- 2 Tablespoons Sweet Relish
- 1 teaspoon Capers
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Hard boil and peel the eggs.
Place eggs in large sealable container, smash into large chunks with fork.
Add mayonnaise, mustard, capers, and relish and stir until combined.
Add paprika, nutmeg, and pepper to taste.
Sir until well combined.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- To make the egg salad less messy, the trick is to not smash the eggs until they resemble fine sand, but instead to smash them just enough to give the mayonnaise and mustard something to stick to.
- Instead of sweet relish, if you prefer your egg salad more savory, you can finely dice pickles and substitute them for the relish.
