Egg Salad with Celery Recipe
Egg Salad
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- cup mayonnaise (such as Hellman's)
- cup finely chopped onion
- teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the eggs from the hot water and cool them under cold running water. Once cooled, peel the eggs.
- Using an egg slicer, chop the eggs into a bowl both ways. This creates a uniform chop for the salad.
- Add the finely chopped celery, mayonnaise, onion, mustard powder, and salt to the bowl with the chopped eggs. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use. Enjoy your creamy and flavorful egg salad!

5.2.20 Egg salad sandwiches always have been one of my favorites. To this day, they take me back to Girl Scout summer day camp when there typically was one in my brown paper bag lunch packed by my mother. I’ve always put some chopped celery in mine, but never onion until today…and I liked it. The star in this is the zing you get from that little bit of the dry mustard powder, LUV it. GOLDIE6175 I agree, I love it just the way it is!

We usually make them this way, just as our moms did, but I now (sometimes) jazz them up a bit by using shallots (they're milder) instead of onion, & adding some finely minced Italian parsley & celery leaves for more flavor & aroma. We like them on lightly toasted whole grain bread or in a Crescent Roll with Boston Lettuce. This is definitely an Oldie but a goodie, at least for me.

I use Celery Salt, White Pepper, Scallion (white parts) and Fines Herbs or Bouquet Garni to add extra flavor to the Egg Salad. I've not used mustard, but may do so in the future.

I also used green onions and added 1 /2 tablespoon of lemon juice and paprika.

What makes this 5 star for me is that it is classic, with traditional (to my Jersey upbringing) ingredients and good proportions for a sandwich: 1 1/2 eggs per person, about 1 1/2 Tbsp. mayonnaise per egg, celery for crunch, and a touch of mustard for depth of flavor. Add-ins from there according to taste; onion , salt, and relish optional. The main thing for a winner is getting the egg/mayo ratio right. Using an egg slicer two ways gets the chopped size right for staying on the bread while still retaining some texture.

I make this all the time. Instead of mustard, I add chives and season salt. I make it almost weekly to have on hand for lunch.

Perfect. didn't make a change but I did rap it in a huge leaf of romaine instead of bread-health reasons. Thanks for the recipe.

It's a classic for a reason - perfect in its simplicity. My only deviation from this recipe is to replace mustard with cumin.

Delicious! I use green onions or shallots for the onions in this recipe. Also added a bit of white pepper.

The celery gives it a good crunch and flavor. I will definitely make it again.
