Egg salad is a timeless dish that can be enjoyed in so many ways. Whether it’s the star of a sandwich, served over crisp lettuce leaves, or spooned onto toasted crusty bread, it’s one tasty treat that never disappoints.

The Secret’s in the Eggs! 🥚

And no, not all eggs are created equal when it comes to egg salad. The secret to the “OMG-ness” of this recipe is the use of farm-fresh eggs. These golden gems offer a richer, deeper flavor that can make anyone go “OMG!”

Tip: The fresher the eggs, the better the flavor. So try sourcing eggs from a local farmer’s market or organic food store.

Mayonnaise Matters 💁‍♀️

What’s egg salad without mayonnaise? But hold on, we’re not just talking about any old mayo. This recipe calls for high-quality, full-fat mayo to make sure your egg salad is as creamy and flavorful as possible.

Not Just Eggs and Mayo 🌿

Although eggs and mayonnaise are the heart of this recipe, the addition of other ingredients like mustard, dill, and the ever-essential salt and pepper elevate it to its OMG status. It’s all about that balance of creaminess, tanginess, and a hint of freshness.

Tip: Fresh dill really makes a difference. If possible, avoid dried dill and go for fresh. The flavor is incomparable.
