How To Make egg salad

  • 1
    Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking. Eggs can now be peeled.

    When eggs are cool: I use a grater and grate the eggs on the smallest holes. Will be a fine grate. You can smash them with a fork. I have also used my food processor. Add the next 8 ingredients, stir well. I then taste to see if spices need adjusting.
