Reviews
This is a great and simple recipe. It was easy to put together and has a really good taste.
Great recipe! I read the reviews and mixed the other ingredients together and added it to the chopped eggs. I didn’t use all of dressing and used 7 eggs and still had dressing left over. Great flavors!
Perfection as is, but I did add celery as I like the crunch. Served on fresh buttery Croissants and there was nothing left.
Delicious! Love the mustard and relish components. Found this recipe in the ’27 Perfectly Portable Picnic Recipes’ collection. Wondering how the bread doesn’t get mushy on the way to the picnic?
Really good and not too mayo-y!
Halved this recipe for 2 people (still made 4 sandwiches). Used dill pickle relish instead of sweet, added one rib diced celery and one sliced scallion in lieu of chives. I had some fresh dill so mixed that in, too. Very nice!
Next time I will put in celery
I made this egg salad today for lunch and it was AMAZING!!! I did add minced onion and celery and no chives. Thanks for sharing – this is now my go to egg salad recipe!
Except for the salt, pepper, and chives, this has been my recipe for 55 years (I am 78). I don’t use that much mayonnaise for 6 eggs, Just add a couple tablespoons at at time until it reaches the desired consistency. Have occasionally added small diced celery, but that is not always in my refrigerator. Still, a great tasting recipe.
The chives overwhelmed the taste of the other ingredients. In fact it took hours to get the taste of chives out of my mouth. The recipe called for 2 tablespoons of freshly minced chives. Next time I’ll try it with 2 teaspoons and update my review.
