The Egg Salad is a tasty side dish full of flavor that you can customize with ingredients of your choice. Our Egg Salad Recipe allows you to make the classic version that originates from American cuisine but has now won over many Italians.

Made with only two ingredients, Hard-Boiled Eggs and Mayonnaise, enriched with the aroma and taste of Fennel and Chives, you’ll get an excellent Hard-Boiled Egg Salad that will be perfect to accompany boiled meats, grilled meats, or to fill delicious Sandwiches, Paninis, or Piadinas.

Starting from the Original Egg Salad Recipe, you can then prepare, by adding different ingredients, a perfect Tuna and Egg Salad, a delicious Potato and Hard-Boiled Egg Salad, a fresh Egg and Cherry Tomato Salad, or a hearty Potato, Sausage, and Hard-Boiled Egg Salad.

If you wish, you can make your Salad with Hard-Boiled Eggs and Mayonnaise not only tasty but also scenic by using not the classic Hard-Boiled Eggs but Beetroot Hard-Boiled Eggs. They will give your dish a truly unique color.

  1. To prepare the Egg Salad, first boil the eggs in a small pot with water for 10 minutes from when the water starts boiling.
  2. Once hard-boiled, peel the eggs and let them cool first at room temperature and then in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Cooling them in the refrigerator will help them set properly.
  3. Once well set, chop the eggs into small pieces, place them in a bowl, add a pinch of salt and mix with mayonnaise to taste. Mix everything well and add some chopped wild fennel (finocchietto) and chives.
  4. Mix well and your Egg Salad is ready to be served as a condiment or used as a filling for tasty sandwiches or bread rolls. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Variations and Alternatives

If you’d like, you can enhance your Egg Salad by adding capers or sprinkling it with paprika, either sweet or spicy variety.

Tips

To make this Egg Salad preparation easier, we recommend boiling the eggs the night before and letting them set properly in the refrigerator overnight. This will make them much easier to chop with a knife.

Storage

The Egg Salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
