Variations
There are lots of ways to change up this egg salad recipe. Here are a few of my favorite variations. If you change this recipe, please let me know in the comments.
- Make an egg salad sandwich. Use wonder bread chaffles as the bread slices.
- Reuse the deviled egg salad dressing. Add it on top of some raw broccoli and cauliflower florets, or use it as a dressing on top of a spinach salad.
- Top with cayenne pepper. Use this instead of paprika to give it a bit more bite.
- Make it spicy. Add hot sauce to the yolk mixture, along with some diced jalapenos.
- Use it as a dip. Use cucumber slices or red bell pepper pieces to scoop up the low-carb egg salad.
FAQs
Here are some questions people usually ask about making egg salad. If you don't see your question in this list, please leave it in the comments.
This deviled egg salad recipe is the perfect thing to add to your weekly meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days.
After three days, the celery and green onions will soften because they will soak up the dressing.
Hard boiled eggs will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to seven days. I like to hard boil an entire dozen eggs and use them as quick snacks throughout the week.
Yes, you can freeze egg salad. But should you freeze egg salad? No, probably not. I don't recommend freezing it.
After eggs in the egg salad freeze and thaw again, they become tough and rubbery. This salad won't taste as appetizing if you try to freeze it.
