🥚 4-Ingredient Egg Salad Recipe 🥪 Quick & Delicious! (2024)

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

If you are looking for an easy egg salad recipe, then you have come to the right place. This 4 ingredient egg salad is so good, and is perfect for picnics, poolside lunches and fancy tea sandwiches. It's a great salad to make if you have boiled eggs left over from Easter, and even if you don't...it literally only takes a few minutes to make!

For some reason, egg salad sandwiches take me back to when I was a kid. There is just something about a big pile of egg salad served on white bread that reminds me of lunches by our neighborhood pool. Now that I'm an adult, I also enjoy egg salad on a croissant. If you are trying to cut carbs, you can totally eat egg salad on a bed of lettuce or with some sliced avocado. It's funny...I don't really make egg salad during the fall and winter, but I always get a craving for it right around Easter time. I guess the thought of boiling eggs for dying reminds me of it or something. Once I make the first batch of it, I seem to keep it around all summer long. It's such a nice alternative to lunch meat sandwiches! Let me show you just how easy my egg salad is to make with only 4 ingredients...

Easy Egg Salad Recipe

Start with 8-10 chopped hard boiled eggs. I like to cook a large batch of Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot as seen HERE or you can boil them on the stove. HERE is a quick trick for Boiling and Peeling Eggs if you don't own an Instant Pot.

I like to cheat and use my Vegetable Chopper Mandoline Slicer Dicer to chop my eggs quickly, but you can totally just use a knife ;)

Add the eggs, ¼ cup of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of mustard to a bowl and mix together well, making sure to mash the yolks of the eggs a bit. If you don't like mustard, you can absolutely leave it out...I don't think you will really notice it though, it just adds a little bit of zing to the egg salad.
