This easy homemade egg salad is great to have stored in the refrigerator during the week so you can make an easy and quick lunch or even a snack. Enjoy it in a sandwich or use it as a side to a salad or with some crackers. It takes no time to make and is an easy protein packed recipe to make!
For this recipe, you will need:
- Eggs: I like to use pasture raised eggs because they pack in the most amount of nutrients
- Mayonnaise: You can use a mayo made with avocado oil or regular mayo, but I recommend checking the ingredients to make sure that your mayo has no added refined sugar or inflammatory oils
- Parsley: it’s best to use fresh parsley because this adds so much flavor to the dish
- Dijon Mustard: I use a mustard with no added sugars or additives so remember to check the labels for this
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Sesame Seeds: adds the best crunch
Tips:
- I recommend grating the egg using a wide handheld grater
How to Store:
- Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days
