Do you have any tips for making a good egg salad?

[@kylebritt1225]

celery seed!

[@WarriorD13]

I'm going to take a stab in the dark before I watch this video that most people don't know they should remove the yolk from the whites and mix it with the mayonnaise and other seasonings fixing it back in with the egg whites and the other ingredients

[@Chris_Might-Travel]

Japanese Mayo

[@bloodhoundmamajayne2818]

Celery seed is the key!!

[@bloodhoundmamajayne2818]

[@timwild5964]

Eggs, mayo, sliced green onions, diced celery and dill weed, salt and pepper. The BEST…

[@annecollins1741]

I always use Hellman's mayonnaise I never use Miracle Whip in my egg salad or potato salad.

[@dustinclark6749]

Dukes is where it's at

finely grating the whites gives a nice texture. No disappearing yolks & big bits of egg white.

[@kyleshepherd4208]

Marzettie coleslaw dressing instead of mayo. Try it its the Zing. Also works well with tuna!

[@necrogenesis1981]

I like to make mine sort of a combination between coleslaw and egg salad, sometimes I’ll use chutney instead of green relish for extra spice. I also always use Kewpie mayonnaise.

[@carolray9156]

Great and educational video!! Thanks so much.🙏💯🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@nstygrl97]

Will you please do this for tuna salad?

[@christinekinn6178]

Your recommendation for cooking perfect hard boiled eggs does not specify if the eggs go into the pot cold from the fridge or bring them to room temperature first.

[@bimiup1]

Yes! Many people do make HUGE mistakes when preparing EGG Salad! Like putting sugar in it, or chopped onion, or olives, or relish, or ANYTHING other than just Mayo and salt and pepper!

[@aprilthomas1489]

and mustard

[@luthiersdaughter9134]

Cooking eggs for 13 minutes is wayyy to long! Simmer 5 minutes and run cold water over eggs, crack she'll a bit so the water can get in between the shell and egg and there you go!

[@ellendolber2765]

The instructions said to bring to boil, cover remove from heat then let sit for 14 minutes, then place in ice water

[@kristinwright6632]

I take it Martha Stewart doesn't live above 5000 feet. That boil and stand trick only works at low altitude. I find it works a lot faster to steam them. About a centimeter of water in the pot and gently lower your eggs in when it boils. Lid on, lower the temp, so it doesn't mash the eggs around, and set the timer for 10 minutes. Then yes, cold water shock and break up the shells to soak in the cold water.

[@jennysaykwah690]

Shouldn't it depend on the size of the egg? Your answer makes more sense. I was raised on Miracle Whip; didn't taste mayo until 8yrs old...........fell in love with it!! My egg salad is simple: hard boiled eggs, mayo, yellow mustard, garlic salt, black pepper, and paprika.

[@Birdbike719]

You can use a rice cooker, too. Put eggs in steamer basket. You can also cook rice at the same time

[@shellycassidy5473]

I used miracle whip and eggs and peppers yummy and onion

[@jawbaw6471]

I never cool my eggs in ice water. Cold tap water works fine.

[@AKHWJ3ST]

Why mess up another dish? Right?

[@MLaak86]

Er... I'm sorry, how is it a mistake to have some soft boiled eggs in the salad? What if you like a slightly runnier consistency in the finished product?

[@BILLYBOBB3080]

McCormick mayonnaise with lime.

[@mstsp9546]

I find that fresher eggs are far more difficult to peel, and I haven't found any easy hack on it. But I don't believe all that fuss is necessary either for most eggs, just bring to boil, turn off heat, cover and leave for 17 minutes. Then run under cold water, It helps also to break up the shell and roll it in your hands. This loosens the membrane. All these ideas look great too, but, I do like Miracle Whip with egg salad as a general rule.

[@kathygibson2552]

Tried everything for easy to peel eggs. The only thing that works is to avoid fresh eggs. Get eggs from grocery store a few weeks before making into salad.

[@WarriorD13]

Onion powder& granulated garlic powder

[@wereid1978]

Any crunchy stuff in egg salad and you will lose a good portion of people. Including me. Raw onions celery or relish will ruin it for me. Spices are a good thing adding the vinegar juice from your favorite pickled item is amazing.

[@TheRabidPosum]

I feel the opposite. I like the onions and celery. Also green bell peppers are good in it. And I despise all pickled foods so pickle juice wouldn't work for me.

Poach your eggs. Crack them into the water and simmer for about 6 minutes. No peeling necessary. I don't understand why more people don't do this.

Don't bother trying to peel the eggs. Bread them in two, (after cooking), then dig them out with a spoon. You're going to break them up anyway.
