Egg salad is something that I make about once a month. We usually eat leftovers for lunch, but when we have a few nights in the work week with eating out with family or friends, I try and plan ahead for ingredients to make this. The ingredients are simple and you can add dill or diced up pickles if you like your egg salad with those items. This perfect egg salad makes for a great make-ahead lunch for the week or a filling snack.

I try and lighten up my egg salad sometimes by adding half the amount of mayo and the other half with greek yogurt. I wrote the recipe below showing the lightened up version that I also make. The lightened up version and the full mayo version are both great tasting, I just sometimes like making my food a little healthier. If you make the lighter version if the salad sits in the fridge overnight it will get a little watery and will just have to be stirred well before serving.
