Grandma’s Classic Egg Salad is my mom’s recipe! I grew up on this and it was hands-down my favorite sandwich growning up. My kids absolutely love their grandma’s recipe too! It’s so creamy and just perfection using only 4 ingredients! This recipe has been a family favorite for generations and I hope you love it too. My mom’s recipe is great for sandwiches, salads or even on crackers as an appetizer. I love making this and my ultimate Chicken Salad or Pimento Cheese for the perfect girl dinner.

You’ll love how easy this is to make. Make a sandwich or place a scoop of egg salad on top of some butter leaf lettuce. Great way to get your protein for the day. Not just for lunch or a quick snack, this is great on toast in the morning for a quick breakfast. Make it the day before and it’s even better. You can try adding a quarter of a teaspoon of ground mustard for a little kick, it’ll taste just like a deviled egg!
You will need:
6 large eggs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp yellow mustard
White bread
Salt and pepper to taste
