Ingredient List
Just a few ingredients for this egg salad recipe! Nothing fancy, just a few pantry staples that will give the salad the best flavor and texture. See the recipe card below for all measurements.
- Eggs: The base of your egg salad. This recipe calls for 8 large eggs, which will be boiled, peeled, and chopped. If you need a tutorial on how to hard boil your eggs easily, try this one! It uses the air fryer to make prep a breeze.
- Mayonnaise: Makes everything smooth and also adds creaminess. If you’re not a fan of mayo, you can also use plain Greek yogurt, sour cream, or hummus.
- Dill: Fresh dill adds a bright, herby flavor. Since this egg salad recipe doesn’t use a ton of ingredients, you’ll want to make sure you don’t skip the herbs. Without them, your salad may turn out a little bland.
- Chives: Another fresh herb that adds a subtle oniony flavor.
- Dijon Mustard: For tangy, delicious flavor.
- Salt and Pepper: Make everything taste better! Add to taste.

And voila! Perfect hard-boiled eggs. You can also use this recipe for easy, air fryer hard-boiled eggs!

How Long Does Egg Salad Last?
Properly stored, egg salad will last for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. Because bacteria grows rapidly at temperatures between 40°F and 140°F, egg salad should be discarded if left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature.
