Ingredients
  

  • 7 eggs - peeled
  • cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp dried dill

Equipment

  • Hand-powered food chopper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tupperware dish with lid

Method
 

  1. Place your peeled eggs into the hand-powered food chopper and pull until you’re happy with the size.
    Transfer the chopped egg to a Tupperware dish.
  2. Stir in your mayo and mustard until everything is smooth and evenly coated.
  3. Now mix in the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and dill. Give it a good stir until it’s all fully incorporated.
  4. Cover the dish with a lid and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This gives the flavors time to meld and the texture to set up nicely.
  5. Serve on soft bread for a classic egg salad sandwich, or spoon it over a bed of lettuce for a light lunch.
    Even picky eaters will love this creamy, mild, and flavor-packed version!

Notes

 
  • Add ½ tablespoon of chipotle sauce or your favorite hot sauce for a spicy version.
  • You can also use Miracle Whip or light mayo if you prefer a tangier flavor.
  • Try swapping yellow mustard for Dijon for a slightly sharper taste.
 

Storage

  • Keep your egg salad stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • If you prefer to prep ahead, boil and peel your eggs up to 4 days early and mix the salad fresh when needed.
