    The ingredients for egg salad.

    Mustard. In this recipe, I used about a tablespoon of grain dijon mustard. You can also use yellow mustard as a replacement ingredient.

    Chives. If you don't have chives on hand, feel free to use green onion.

    Paprika. It's an optional ingredient. You can still make a good egg salad without it.

    How to Make Egg Salad

    Step 1. Make the Hard-Boiled Eggs

    Making your own hard-boiled eggs is actually pretty easy. It can be done on the stove or in an air fryer. Here's the step-by-step tutorial to make hard-boiled eggs.

    FAQ and Cooking Tips

    How long will egg salad last in the fridge?

    Transfer the leftover egg salad as soon as possible to an air airtight container. Properly stored, the leftover can last 3-5 days in the fridge. Egg salad should be thrown away if left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature.

    Can I put the leftover egg salad in the freezer?

    Yes, you can but it's not recommended because the ingredients in the mayonnaise separate during the freezing process.
