Egg Salad Blahs

[six footer]

I just took 3 eggs, a glob of real mayo, a half-cup of chopped celery, a splash of dijon mustard, salt & pepper and mixed it all up for egg salad. It was kind of blah. How do you guys make egg salad more zingy? For someone who mostly used to eat out, I'm a really BAD cook.

I sometimes add a little chopped pickle or relish. (Dill only no sugar added). A few drops of hot sauce will give it a little kick. Scoop it up with pork rinds for a little more flavor.
I also like tuna/egg salad. Just mix both. Its a little less blah

That sounds good. The office people here said crumbled bacon bits or sunflower seeds (seeds after 2 wks, of course). The pork rind scoopers sound great. thanks for the ideas.

we've always used white vinegar in ours just got to be careful because you can over do it but it does give it a zing!

We are simple people though we just add eggs, mayo, vinegar, salt and pepper.

i just made some today, i used 2 tbs of mayo, 1tsp of mustard, 1 tsp white vinegar...turned out pretty good

I like adding dill, or celery seed, and dijon mustard. For veggies, I like to add celery and sometimes green peppers.

Yep...try mustard and dill relish and some Louisiana hot sauce. The mustard will make a huge difference.

My basic ingredients for tuna salad, shredded chicken, or devilled eggs:

mayo
mustard
dill relish
greeen onion
celery
salt
pepper
optional:
Louisiana hot sauce
fresh jalapeno

Just mix 'em up until you get the "right" consistency and flavor for the way you like yours.

I'm with Hopeful on this. A little bit of vinegar or lemon juice brightens the flavor of egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, etc.

One of my favorite veggie dip is mayo, mixed with a little lemon juice or vinegar and a bit of onion powder. It's great with artichokes, raw snow peas, bell peppers, cucumbers etc.

here they seem to make egg salad with a pinch of sugar (my taste buds told me so), so I'd probably add a little bit of sweetener but I dunno how your egg salads usually taste
