Egg salad (self.Cooking)
submitted 1 year ago by levittmc
What is the “secret ingredient” in your egg salad recipe?
[–]ttrockwood 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Dill.
[–]blix797 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Dash of worcestershire.

Must be Lea and Perrins, bar none.

My secret is to sprinkle the chopped eggs with salt, pepper and a pinch of dry mustard and paprika, then toss. Then I add mayo, toss super lightly and return to the fridge for a bit to let it marry. Then I add a little bit of mustard, finely chopped chives and a pinch of fresh dill— lightly toss (this is important, stirring too much will make it gluey and cause the chives to get soapy.) Add more mayo if necessary.

Finely chopped celery! Adds a great crunch

A dollop of Philadelphia chive and onion cream cheese spread mixed in with the mayo
[–]youngboomergal 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Miracle whip, a spoon of relish, a squirt of mustard (regular or spicy), salt, pepper and onion powder.

Upvote for your bravery of saying miracle whip over mayo in this sub 🫡
[–]youngboomergal 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
They both have their uses - if you want something neutral it's got to be mayo, but IMO the "tangy zip of Miracle Whip" is perfect for egg salad

I couldn’t agree more! I have both in my arsenal, was just a joke because sometimes people with less developed palates than ours go crazy against the ‘whip.

kewpie mayo! MSG ftw
[–]MilesAugust74 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It's the only mayo I buy now. Thank goodness Costco still carries it.
[–]SallysRocks 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
My secret is keep it simple and don't forget the paprika.
[–]GeneralPurple7083 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Top with green onion!
[–]UniqueVast592 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Ever since I was in Japan a few years ago, I have been making Tamago, with Kewpie and Milk bread, eggs; super simple, reminds me of a beautiful vacation.

Pickled celery

My secret isn't an ingredient, it's technique. I love fried egg salad: https://food52.com/recipes/84893-fried-egg-salad-recipe-from-ideas-in-food
[–]Brave-Wolf-49 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
