Eggs: I provide instructions for air fryer hard-boiled eggs below, but you can also cook them on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot. Mayonnaise makes the egg salad creamy. Dijon Mustard provides tanginess that’s usually used in Deviled eggs. Dill Pickle Juice gives the dish a tangy, salty taste. Salt and Pepper season the eggs. Garnish: Paprika and fresh dill or chives add a pretty pop of color and enhance the flavor.
Variations
Mayo: Swap half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt to make it lighter. Pickle Juice: Use caper juice instead. Herbs: Use chives or finely chopped scallions. Mix in other ingredients, like minced bacon, chopped dill pickles, or cornichons. More Protein: Add diced shrimp or tuna. More Crunch: Stir in chopped celery or red onion. Make it Spicy: Add horseradish, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or jalapeño.
How to Serve Deviled Egg Salad
Here are some of my favorite ways to eat this egg salad!
Eat it by itself with a spoon (my favorite way!). Serve it over a green salad with lettuce and other veggies, like cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Wrap it in large lettuce leaves, collard wraps or tortillas. Eat it as a snack on crackers or rice cakes. Make an egg salad sandwich on sourdough bread or bagels. Spread it on toast for breakfast.
How long is egg salad good for in the fridge?
Egg salad will keep for 4 days in the refrigerator. It’s an easy lunch that requires no reheating, making it perfect for meal prep.
