How to Make Creamy Egg Salad
- Prepare the eggs: Peel your hard-boiled eggs and chop them into small pieces. For a creamier texture, mash some of the yolks with a fork.
- Mix the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the Miracle Whip, yellow mustard and black pepper.
- Add the ingredients: Gently fold in the chopped eggs, celery and onion (if using).
- Mix until creamy: Stir everything together until well combined. Add a little extra Miracle Whip if you prefer a creamier egg salad.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavours blend. Serve on your favourite bread, with crackers or in lettuce wraps.
- Tip: Sprinkle a little paprika on top for extra colour and flavour!
🥚 Don’t overcook your eggs! Perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs make the best egg salad.
💕 Make it extra creamy. Add a little more Miracle Whip until you get your favourite consistency.
🥒 Add some crunch. Finely chopped celery gives your egg salad a delicious texture.
❄️ Make it ahead. Egg salad tastes even better after chilling in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
🥪 Switch up how you serve it! Enjoy it on toasted bread, buttery crackers, croissants or fresh lettuce wraps.
How to Store Egg Salad
Have leftovers? No problem! 🥚
Store your homemade egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Keep it chilled at 40°F or below, and don’t leave it sitting at room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour if it’s above 90°F).
For the best taste and texture, give it a gentle stir before serving.
Can you freeze egg salad? Freezing isn’t recommended because the creamy dressing and eggs can become watery and lose their texture after thawing.
