Ingredient notes and substitutions

Greek yogurt – I like to use full fat plain greek yogurt to make this egg salad recipe. Low fat yogurt or non-fat Greek yogurt will also work in this recipe. Make sure the yogurt is plain Greek and not flavored.

Horseradish – Adds a bit of heat to the egg salad and can be left out.

How to make perfect hard-boiled eggs for egg salad

The key to making a deliciously creamy egg salad is to have perfectly cooked eggs. Eggs that have been cooked for too long are dry and can affect the texture of the egg salad.

Cover the eggs with water in a pan, and cover the pan. Bring the eggs to a boil. Leave the cover on and turn the heat off. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 12 minutes. Rinse the eggs under cold water and peel them.

Tips

Use an egg slicer to cut the eggs easily.
Rinse the cooked eggs in cold water 5 to 10 minutes before peeling to help remove the shells.
Remove the shell easily by shaking the eggs in the pan until the shells start to crack after they have been cooked and drained.
