This simple and delicious egg salad is a quick and easy way to use up all those extra eggs! Perfect as a sandwich or a wrap!

What Can You Do With All Those Extra Eggs?

It’s springtime and the hens are really picking up their production! The kids sell eggs to some friends and neighbors, but we still have an abundance. Finding quick and easy recipes that use quite a few eggs is great during seasons like this. Egg salad is the perfect way to use some of those eggs.

Starting with Boiled Eggs

This recipe starts with boiled eggs. If you are unsure how to boil eggs or need a little refresher course you can read my directions for how to boil eggs. Once you have about a dozen or so boiled eggs, you are ready to start. This recipe can easily be adjusted for more or fewer eggs. Just use what you have!

I love using homemade relish in my egg salad. My recipe for homemade relish has quite a bit of vinegar for a nice sour note. It adds the perfect sour bite to this simple relish. Store bought relish works great too! Just decide if you would rather have a sweet or sour relish and go from there.

Tips for Making Egg Salad

• Remember it is easier to add than take away. Especially with Mayo! If you like your egg salad a little more on the dry side add the mayo in bit by bit until you reach the best consistency for you. The next day it will always be a little wetter.
• If you are counting carbs, try eating egg salad on a low carb wrap or in a lettuce wrap. Both options would be filling and KETO friendly.
• Be sure you use a mixing bowl that gives you plenty of room to actually mix the ingredients. Instead of starting with a small bowl and having to switch to a larger one, leaving you with two dirty bowls, just start with the larger one. I always try to use as few dishes as possible. Who likes washing dishes, much less extra dishes?
