Instructions step by step
Follow these simple step-by-step instructions to make the Ultimate Farmhouse Egg Salad. From boiling the eggs to mixing in fresh vegetables and a creamy, tangy dressing, each step helps you create a delicious egg salad that’s perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or a quick homemade lunch.
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10–12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to an ice-water bath and let them cool completely. Peel and chop the eggs.
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chopped eggs, celery, red onion, sweet pickles, and parsley.
Gently fold everything together until well combined, keeping some egg pieces slightly chunky for texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the flavors to blend.

Notes & tips
A few small details make this coconut-rich red lentil curry extra creamy, fragrant, and easy to make your own.
Use large eggs for consistent results and an ideal egg-to-dressing ratio.
Chill the hard-boiled eggs completely before chopping to make them easier to handle and prevent a watery salad.
For the best texture, roughly chop the eggs rather than mashing them completely.
Adjust the mayonnaise to your preferred consistency. Start with less and add more if needed.
Finely chop the celery, red onion, and pickles so they distribute evenly throughout the salad.
Add pickle juice gradually to control the tanginess without making the egg salad too loose.
Let the egg salad chill for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can blend.
Taste before adding extra salt, especially if using salty mayonnaise, pickles, or mustard.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 3–4 days.
