Classic egg salad recipe never gets old. This picnic-perfect recipe is made using hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, onions, chives, dill, and paprika. It's my favorite summer salad that's packed with protein and nutrients, along with wonderful flavors too!

Notes
Highly recommend you use organic free-range eggs.
Add a teaspoon of baking soda or white vinegar to the boiling water to avoid cracking of eggs.
Use good quality mayonnaise for the best taste. You can add more mayonnaise for creamier salad, or reduce the amount to make it less creamier.
Feel free to use ½ plain Greek yogurt and ½ full-fat mayonnaise if you like.
Coarsely chop the egg white and yolk, so the salad has a texture in its bite. You can use a pastry cutter to chop the eggs.
The recipe can be easily doubled to make more.
Feel free to add extra add-ons for added taste and texture. Extra add-ons like capers, hot sauce, sweet pickles (chopped), cooked and crumbled crispy bacon, pimientos, pickled cucumbers, and even chunks of canned tuna.
