Ingredients

Egg Salad with Bacon

  • 8 hard-boiled eggs chopped
  • 2 slices bacon cooked & chopped (optional)
  • cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp yellow or Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp horseradish
  • 1 Tbsp fresh dill
  • 2 Tbsp fresh chives
  • salt & pepper to taste

For Serving

  • lettuce wraps
  • pita pocket
  • Hawaiian roll or small bun
  • crackers

Instructions

  • Hard boil eggs as desired—either on the stovetop, or try my instant pot boiled eggs recipe! (This is now my favorite way to hard-boil eggs.)
  • Once boiled, peel eggs and roughly chop.
    (You can use a knife, an egg slicer, or try this nifty hack from Food & Wine: place a wire baking rack on top of a large bowl, place a boiled egg on top of the baking rack, and press down on the egg with a small plate or the bottom of a bowl. Voila! Perfectly chopped eggs every time.)
  • Add all ingredients to a large bowl—except for chopped eggs and bacon—and mix well to combine, seasoning to taste. Once dressing is integrated, add in chopped eggs and optional bacon, stirring to coat.
  • Serve in a pita or lettuce wrap, on a bun, or with crackers!
  • Store in airtight containers in the fridge for 5-7 days.
  • Yields ~2 cups egg salad.
