CLASSIC EGG SALAD

Most egg salads are bland, mayo-laden affairs, but this one is vibrant and fresh.

Categories     Salads

Time 20m

Yield Makes 2½ cups, or enough for 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large eggs
¼ cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann's or Duke's
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice or white wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon sugar
¼ cup finely diced celery, from 1 stalk
3 tablespoons finely sliced scallions, from 2 to 3 scallions
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a saucepan in a single layer, and fill the pan with enough cold water so that it covers the eggs by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully pour out the hot water; place the pan in the sink and run cold water over the eggs until the pan is lukewarm, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and refill with cold water; let stand until the eggs are room temperature, about 10 minutes. Gently crack the eggs all over and peel under running water. Dry the eggs, then chop into ¼-inch pieces.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar. Add the chopped eggs, celery, scallions, and parsley. Using a rubber spatula, fold to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve or refrigerate until ready to use. (If you refrigerate the egg salad, be sure to taste it again before serving and adjust the seasoning; I find the flavors mellow out a bit after some time in the fridge.)
  • Make Ahead: The eggs can be cooked, peeled, and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator 3 days ahead. If you keep the eggs in their shell, they can last for up to a week. The egg salad will keep well in a covered container in the fridge for about 3 days.
  • Tip: When peeling an egg, start at the wider end -- there's usually a small air pocket in there, which makes the egg shell easier to remove.

THE BEST EGG SALAD



The Best Egg Salad image

While we love a jazzed up version of egg salad, we always come back to this one for its simplicity, clean flavors and sheer nostalgia. This is the best version of a classic egg salad. It's bright with herbs and the mayonnaise-to-egg ratio is just right, making it perfectly mound-able on a sandwich or bowl of greens. If you are serving a crowd, the recipe is easily doubled, or you can just keep some extra in the fridge for whenever the craving strikes.

EGG SALAD SANDWICHES WITH GREEN OLIVE, CELERY AND PARSLEY



Egg Salad Sandwiches With Green Olive, Celery and Parsley image

This zesty egg salad has no mayonnaise (but a dab of homemade mayonnaise would be permissible). Use picholine or other tasty green olives (not the bland canned supermarket type) or substitute Italian-style marinated artichoke hearts. You could add a little chopped anchovy and a few capers, too, if so inclined. Served open-face as appetizers, these sandwiches are very pretty, but there's no reason not to use the filling for a conventional sandwich.

Time 20m

Yield 12 open-face sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs, boiled 9 minutes, chilled in ice water and peeled
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, cut on the diagonal
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery hearts, with leaves
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup roughly chopped green olives
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 slices challah bread
Unsalted butter, at room temperature
A handful of arugula leaves

Steps:

  • Chop eggs into large rough pieces and put in a medium bowl. Add scallions and celery and season with salt and pepper. Add olives, red pepper, parsley and olive oil. Toss to combine and mash lightly with a fork to amalgamate. (Combine just before serving to keep the mixture fresh looking.)
  • Lay bread slices on a work surface and butter each generously. Spread 2 or 3 tablespoons egg mixture on each. Top each slice with a few arugula leaves.
  • Cut each slice in half diagonally and serve. If desired, cut into bite-size pieces.
