Homemade Tasty Egg Salad Recipe
This homemade egg salad has a way of reminding you that good food doesn’t have to be complex. It is simple, wholesome, and satisfying in the best way. This my homemade version takes those classic flavors you know and gives them a little extra life with fresh herbs and a light, bright dressing. This slight change actually makes a huge difference, resulting in an even much more enjoyable salad.
Instead of hiding the eggs under too much mayo, this homemade recipe keeps things light. A spoonful of creamy dressing brings everything together without overpowering the eggs, you feel both the eggs and every other thing. This results in you getting that satisfying creaminess, but you can still taste the subtle flavor of the eggs themselves.
I arrived at this recipe after trying the conventional method egg salads are made and improving it myself to suit how I like to enjoy mine. The nice thing, you too can make these kinds of changes to suit your taste buds, you can increase ingredients or even completely swap certain ingredients according to your taste.
