Creamy Egg Salad

This is the best and oh so creamy egg salad recipe. The secret is shredding the eggs with a grater. Plus a pop of flavor with both pickle juice and fresh lemon juice.

Equipment

  • Boxed Grater
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring Tools

Ingredients

  • 12 Eggs, hard boiled
  • ½ cup Mayo
  • 1-2 teaspoon Mustard
  • 4 teaspoon Pickle Juice or Brine
  • 2 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • Salt & Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  • Grate eggs with the small size of a box grater into a mixing bowl.
    Note: You can use store bought peel fully cooked eggs to save time. I like to bring the eggs to a boil. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Add to an ice bath and peel.
  • Add mayo, mustard, pickle juice, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.
  • Place egg salad into a deli container or air-tight bowl. I prefer to chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
  • Serve on bread or with crackers. Can top with fresh dill, chives, or green onion. Enjoy.
