Creating your own Crispy Egg Salad is simple and enjoyable. Follow these steps to make this delightful dish:
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool Eggs: Place the boiled eggs in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to cool them quickly and make peeling easier.
- Peel the Eggs: Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and set them aside in a bowl.
- Mash Eggs: Using a fork, mash the eggs to your desired consistency. Some prefer a chunkier salad, while others like it smoother.
- Combine Dressing: In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped celery, green onions, crumbled bacon (if using), and parsley into the egg mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the dressing until all ingredients are well coated. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve: Spoon generously into a serving bowl or plate, and top with crushed crackers or crispy fried onions for added crunch.
- Chill: For the best flavor, let the salad sit in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving (optional).
- Enjoy: Serve with bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping!
