The Best Egg Salad Sandwich

Keys to a better egg salad: perfectly cooked eggs, a touch of acidity, and crunch.

Ingredients

  • 6 large hard steamed eggs, chilled and peeled
  • 1/4 cup homemade or store-bought mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon zest and 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/3 cup finely diced celery (about 1 small stalk)
  • 1/4 cup finely sliced scallions, white and pale green parts only (about 2 scallions)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Bread, lettuce, and thinly sliced radishes, for serving (optional)

Step by step

Combine eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, scallions, and parsley in a medium bowl. Using your hands, squeeze eggs through your fingers, mixing contents of bowl until reduced to desired consistency; alternatively, smash and mix with a firm whisk. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve as sandwiches with sliced radishes, lettuce, and bread, or as desired.
