Here's a pared-down version of a classic egg salad recipe. You can also add a little cream cheese for an extra-creamy spread. &mdash;Linda Braun, American Egg Board, Park Ridge, Illinois

Old-Fashioned Egg Salad

mayonnaise

lemon juice

onion

salt

pepper

hard-boiled large eggs, chopped

celery

Used the tip to use a bit of Dijon!  Great flavor!

Simple and delicious!  Just what I was looking for!  I did add a bit of dry ranch dressing and Dijon mustard...superb!

Very yummy recipe. Only change was an added 1/2 tsp of Dijon mustard.

This is seriously good and simple. I had given up on egg salad as I must have been over-thinking it because my versions weren't that great. Not anymore! Yum. Didn't have the celery so had to use celery seed. It worked but I think fresh celery would add to it. For my SECOND batch that day (yeah, we ate all the first one) I added a bit of DRY ranch dressing (the kind you get in the big jar from box stores) and it was equally as delicious. May need to cut down on the table salt if you add that but both versions were great! No more stockpiles of eggs in this house! Now I know what to do with them!

I had hard-boiled eggs leftover from Easter and I made this egg salad version. It's delicious! I don't keep dried minced onion so I chopped up  a bit of a sweet onion and used it instead. I served it on potato rolls It was perfect. Definitely a keeper!

Made this exactly as written but I boiled the eggs slightly less... I followed the “bon appetite” guy who said to cook eggs 8 min to keep yolk golden and not crumbly. It turned out great. I kept eggs in a rough chop, not fine and used exact ingredients. Lemon juice was just what had been missing for years and years.. delish! I made this for tomorrow’s lunch, but I keep going back to taste and I’m worried there won’t  be any left for lunch! Yum.

Made exactly as written and very happy with the results.  This blend of flavors with the bit of crunch from the celery is exactly what I was looking for AND it has my husband’s approval!  I’m happy to have found this recipe and anticipate making it many times in the future.

Simple old school perfection.  I did as some others suggested and halved the lemon juice and used about 1/4 tsp celery seed in place of the chopped celery.  Put it on brioche bread.  Yum!

I add chopped sweet pickles, sliced black olives and Cavender's Greek seasoning powder.

Excellent recipe. Very easy. I liked the tang from the lemon juice. Note this recipe (prepared) can be used to make Mustard Potato Salad also on the TOH site. Easiest potato salad ever!
