CLASSIC EGG SALAD RECIPE
8 eggs
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons finely diced celery
2 tablespoons finely diced radish
3 tablespoons mayonnaise*
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
salt and pepper to taste

Place eggs in the bottom of a stainless steel pot, add enough water to come one inch above the eggs.

Bring to a boil, shut off the heat, pop on the lid and set your timer for 10 minutes.

In the meanwhile, set up an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water.

Once the timer goes off, use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the pot and place it into the bath.

Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel off the shells.

Slice four of the eggs in half, pop out the yolks (you can save them for another time) then chop.

Slice the remaining eggs in half, and chop up with the yolks.

Place the chopped eggs and egg whites into a large bowl, and add in onions, celery, radish, mayo, dill, salt, and pepper. Gently stir everything together.

Transfer to an airtight container or enjoy on top of your favorite sandwich bread, lettuce wrap to a green salad.

Thank you for offering two options. I plan to make both, but I will first have to see how ripe my avocados are. Thanks for the ripeness tip. One thing I love about your videos is that they don't just provide recipes, but a plethora of useful tips!

I never thought of using avocados instead of mayo. I love that idea. I use guacamole as salad dressing!! Also, a tip for easy peel boiled eggs....put a little salt in the water when it boils. The eggs jump out of their shells.
