The Best Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe Has a Refreshing Secret Ingredient (8 Ingredients) Sandwiches Lunch Salads Budget Recipes Dinner High Protein Recipes Low Sugar Recipes

What is it about egg salad that makes it so comforting? This easy egg salad recipe has lemon juice in it (the secret ingredient), which really brightens it up. I love to add lemon juice to so many recipes, and this creamy egg salad confirms why. So good!

The high-protein egg salad recipe is made with hardboiled eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice (secret ingredient), Worcestershire sauce, minced celery, minced green onions and fresh chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley. Season the mixture well with salt and pepper and get ready to enjoy every bite. Sometimes I like to add capers or chopped olives. (Check out the health benefits of protein.)

Serve this creamy egg salad recipe as a sandwich filling or over lettuce. This is a great meal-prep recipe. Pack it in meal prep containers with fresh vegetables, cubed cheese and fresh fruit. 

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: approximately 9 to 10 minutes to cook eggs
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 6 hardboiled eggs, peeled and chopped
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise)
• 2 - 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 stalk celery, minced fine
• 2 green onions, minced fine
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley leaves

Here's how to make it: 

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. (For some heat, add a few shakes of crushed red pepper flakes. Fresh is always best when it comes to lemon juice. In a pinch, you could use bottled lemon juice.)
2. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. This recipe makes about four sandwiches. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
