By separating the yolks and whites of the eggs, you can take your egg salad to the next level. This technique is similar to making deviled eggs, however it has been adapted for egg salad.
Take your time pulling the egg whites away from the yolks. Once the egg whites have been broken into little pieces, place them in a basin.
Crush the yolks and sprinkle them on top of the beaten egg whites. By separating the textures in this manner, you may make an egg salad that is creamier.
To make the mayonnaise-mustard mixture, in a separate bowl combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 teaspoons minced chives, salt, and pepper to taste. Thoroughly mix these items that do not include eggs.
Whisk together the egg yolks and whites with the mayonnaise. Top the eggs with the mixture. To get a smooth and creamy mixture, add the remaining ingredients and whisk gently.
So, why does separating eggs make salad dressing that's creamier? Mayonnaise and broken egg yolks cover the egg whites to perfection, making for a silky texture and easier blending. Rather of having egg bits floating around in mayo, each bite has a smooth, creamy consistency.

With this tasty egg salad in hand, we can discuss some possible serving ideas. Egg salad's versatility is its strongest suit. I prefer to enjoy it in a few ways:

Add a nutritious twist to your crackers by spreading some egg salad on top. Easy to throw together, it's great for when you need something fast for lunch or supper.
Make a tasty snack by stuffing ripe tomatoes with egg salad. Because it is tasty and looks good, this dish is great for breakfast or a light dinner.
Stuffing large leaves of lettuce with egg salad is a low-carb option. Crisp, fresh, and satisfying—that's what you'll adore.
