Pour cold water to cover the entire egg. You need to make sure there is some water about 15 to 25mm above the surface of the egg.

Add some salt to the water.

Close the pot lid. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, depending on the heat capacity of the stove.

Turn off the stove. Leave the eggs in the covered pot for about 7 minutes.

Prepare a bowl of ice water large enough to hold the entire egg.

Empty the hot water. Place eggs in ice water for 3 to 5 minutes.

Mix salad

Crack the eggshell. Carefully peel the egg so that the shell does not fall into the salad.

Place the eggs in a medium-sized bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons (30ml) of mayonnaise.

You can substitute with Greek yogurt if you want to create a healthy dish. Alternatively, you can also choose 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon yogurt.

Crush eggs and mayonnaise with a fork. You can grind it very finely or mash it into large pieces for different textures.

Add seasoning to salads. Choose popular condiments to make egg salad. Then use a large spoon to mix well.

Add pepper to taste. If you’re not planning on adding prepackaged seasoning to your salad, you can add a pinch of salt.
For sweetness, add 1 teaspoon of sweetened sauerkraut. The amount of increments depends on taste.
Add 2 chopped celery stalks for extra crunch.
Add 1 teaspoon of cumin or ½ teaspoon of onion salt.
Add ½ cup of chopped onion or scallions. Other condiments you can use are yellow mustard sauce and lemon juice.

Enjoy egg salad

You can use egg salad to make a sandwich or eat it with nothing at all.

Wash and dry a bunch of spinach if you want to serve it with egg salad instead of bread. All you have to do is scoop the egg salad on top of the lettuce. This egg salad recipe is enough for 4 servings.
