How do you make egg salad?

Answer 1

Hard Boil your eggs. While they are cooking, chop up some celery real fine. When the eggs are done cooking, they need to cool off. I empty the water out of the pan and fill it with cold water, let them sit for a while, empty that water out and refill again with more cold water, let that sit. Some people put them into the fridge to cool off. Once they are cooled off enough, peel the shell off. put the peeled eggs into a mixing bowl and mash them up (with a potatoe masher or whatever you can to mash them up fine). Add mayo (the amount of may depends on how many eggs you are using- if I cook 6 eggs, I will start with 2 table spoons of mayo and add more once I start stirring it all up if it looks dry), add celery and stir. Dont start with too much mayo because once it's in there, you can't take it back. It's better to start with too little and add as needed. If you find out you do have too much mayo there are 2 things you can do. Either cook more eggs or break apart white bread and add it in there. The bread will absorb the mayo and nobody will ever even know it's there. Resteraunts do this all the time to make the product go further for less money. Good Luck!

Answer 2

A few (cooled) chopped hard boiled eggs, a little mustard and some mayo or Miracle Whip. Stir it all up together, and WA-LA.....egg salad. However, I do not eat it, this is the way my Mom made it.

Answer 5

this is how i make it...
hard boil eggs (the number depends on how much i want to make....if it's just to make myelf a sandwhich, then one or two eggs)
...peel and chop the eggs (i like mine a little chunkier, so i don't chop the eggs real small)
...mix in a little mayo and mustard and salt and pepper (all to taste...i like my sandwhich a little on the "dry" side, so i don't use a lot of mayo or mustard)
.....spread on your favorite bread...yum!
(by the way...i used to go to this deli where they added a little sugar to their egg salad....i prefer it without, but it's pretty good if you want to try something different)
