Easy egg salad flavored with sweet pickle relish and diced pimentos.

Egg salad on a piece of bread on a white plate.

I’m bringing you an egg salad recipe today in case you have some hard boiled eggs leftover from this weekend’s festivities.

I like egg salad many different ways, but if I had to choose my favorite this would be it. Easy on the mayo, a little yellow mustard for a subtle sharpness, and the addition of sweet pickle relish and diced pimento, for color and sweetness. Spread it on a slice of soft bread and enjoy!

Ingredients

▢ 6 hard boiled eggs, chopped
▢ 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
▢ 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
▢ 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, drained and patted dry
▢ 2 tablespoons chopped pimentos, drained and patted dry
▢ salt and pepper, to taste
▢ paprika, for garnish (if desired)

Instructions

Place the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir to combine. Add the pimentos and stir gently until incorporated. I add the pimentos separately to avoid overmixing them. If they get stirred around too much their color will bleed into the egg salad.
Refrigerate or serve immediately. I like mine served open face on a piece of soft bread. Sprinkle each sandwich with paprika, if desired.
