My Very Favorite Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe
I feel like egg salad gets a bad rap. It’s a humble little dish, and can easily go wrong. But like so many simple things, when it’s done right it is downright delicious. And all it takes is a few basic ingredients that deliver both flavor and texture.
For s،ers, I skip the mayonnaise in favor of plain Greek yogurt. It’s a much healthier way to deliver the same creaminess I want, with a delightful tang that balances the rich flavor of the egg yolks. C،pped celery gives this salad a nice crunch. And then I take the flavor to the next level with fresh dill, mus،, and dried minced onions. This addition really was a game changer… they add tiny bits of crunch and so much flavor. The end result really makes this the best egg salad recipe ever.
Ingredients You’ll Need to Make this Egg Salad Sandwich:
- Eggs
- Celery– Optional, but I love the crunch.
- Plain Greek Yogurt– You can also use mayonnaise or sour cream.
- Yellow Mus،– Dijon or ،y mus، is yummy if you want a little extra zing.
- Dill– I used fresh dill, but dried dill works great too.
- Dried Minced Onion– You can also use 1/4 teas، onion powder. Minced red onion, c،es or green onion is also delicious!
- Salt & Pepper
- Bread– We like to use a nice soft bread for egg salad sandwiches. We used sweet brown bread.
- Greens– We like arugula, but spinach, romaine, and green leaf lettuce are also good!
How to Make Egg Salad Sandwiches:
- Hard boil the eggs. Allow the eggs to cool, then c،p the eggs into small pieces. Put the eggs in a medium sized bowl.
- Add the dressing ingredients. Dice the celery and add to the bowl along with the yogurt, mus،, dill, dried onion, salt and pepper.
- Mix up the salad. Gently stir to combine. If you want a creamier salad, mash it up with a fork until you reach the desired consistency.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Divide the egg salad mixture between four slices of bread. Top with greens and another slice of bread. Dig in!
