Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Egg Salad.
Step 1
Start by placing your eggs in a saucepan, ensuring they are fully submerged in cold water.
Step 2
Heat the saucepan over medium-high until the water reaches a rolling boil.
Step 3
Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from the heat, and allow it to sit undisturbed for 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 4
After the time has elapsed, carefully drain the hot water and cool the eggs by running cold water over them until they are chilled.
Step 5
For optimal flavor and texture, refrigerate the eggs for at least 2 hours, or up to a week, before using.
Step 6
When you're ready to prepare your egg salad, peel the hard-boiled eggs and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Step 7
Use a fork or potato masher to break them down into fine pieces.
Step 8
Next, blend in yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, stirring until the mixture is creamy and well incorporated.
Step 9
Gently fold in diced celery and chopped green onion, ensuring all ingredients are harmoniously combined.
Step 10
Serve your delightful egg salad on your choice of bread, stuff it into pita pockets, or elegantly scoop it onto a bed of fresh salad greens for a refreshing meal.
Step 11
Enjoy the burst of flavors and the satisfaction of a homemade classic!.
