This easy egg salad recipe is the one that I always fall back on when I am in a pinch for lunch.
I try to always have a few hard boiled eggs at the ready in the fridge just in case someone gets hungry. 😉
This recipe makes one sandwich but you can double or triple it up very easily.
What You Will Need to Make this Recipe
You don’t need any special kitchen utensils to make this up but I do recommend using an egg slicer to dice the eggs because it is a lot easier than a knife.
Ingredients for This Easy Egg Salad Recipe
For one sandwich you will need:
- 2 large hard boiled eggs that are cooled, peeled, and diced
- 2 tablespoons of chopped red onion
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried tarragon
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Simply toss all of the ingredients into a bowl.
Mix well.
Serve between slices of your favorite bread.
How easy is that?
Why This Is a Favorite
Years ago when my son, who is now grown, was in fourth grade – I got pulled in at the last minute to chaperone a class field trip.
Someone must have backed out, and I just happened to be around.
Since I wasn’t planning on going, I hadn’t packed a lunch.
Of course, by noon I was starving! (I’m not even sure if I had breakfast that day… )
I think my sons teacher took pity on me and offered me half of her egg salad sandwich for lunch.
Nothing ever tasted so good!
That was the day that egg salad found a permanent spot on my list of go to lunch recipes.
My own recipe adds a touch of tarragon and onion for added flavor.

I hadn’t thought of tarragon. Now there’s an underused herb in my spice drawer! I’ll definitely try it. 😀
