Time for my best egg salad recipe ever: just add a little freshly chopped mint and lemon juice, yummm my favorite creamy egg salad!
Here’s my best egg salad recipe or in other words: my most favorite egg salad!
And it’s chunky, crunchy, creamy…
it’s got everything I like. It’s got it all. I am also quite fond of the combination of eggs and mint by the way because they seem to be just made for each other. You should definitely try!
Lunch Spread
This used to be one of my regular homemade spreads for lunch.
It was an egg salad or a spicy carrot hummus, one or the other. I would take it to the office very often years ago when I was working as an accountant before becoming a full time food blogger.
Such an easy and simple egg salad!!
This is how I would do it.
Best Egg Salad Recipe
Boil a couple of eggs the evening before, chop the cold peeled eggs up in the morning, then add the rest of the ingredients you find in the recipe below and give it all a good stir. I would scoop the whole lot in an airtight container.
Ready for work!
I hope you have a fridge nearby where you work because I think that you should chill this eggy salad until lunchtime. I know, the eggs are cooked. But still, I’m not a fan of lukewarm egg salad. Besides, the fresh mint tastes so much better if you serve this egg salad cold.
Paprika
Add a couple of slices of bread to it, homemade egg salad to spread it with. And also little sprinkle of paprika powder in the end.
This is such a wonderful lunch to look forward to while the morning wears on…
Behind that computer and phone. Just don’t bring this egg salad too often to work or you might have to share it with a bunch of other envious colleagues in the end.
Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!
Enjoy!
