Ingredients
  

  • 12 pieces hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise may need 1 to 2 tablespoons more
  • 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon sweet pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon vinegar plain is ok
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Peeler
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Large Pot
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Start by peeling the hard-boiled eggs. It’s best to do this gently to avoid breaking the eggs. Once peeled, chop them very finely to ensure they mix well with the other ingredients.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, tarragon vinegar, sweet pickle juice, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until they are well blended.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped eggs into the mayonnaise mixture. Be careful not to mash the eggs; you want to keep some texture.
  4. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed. You can also add more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier texture.
  5. Once everything is combined, transfer the salad to a serving dish. You can serve it immediately or refrigerate it for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld.
  6. When ready to serve, enjoy it on your favorite bread, crackers, or just on its own!

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • Tip 2: While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze it for a month. Just ensure it’s in a well-sealed container.
  • Tip 3: This egg salad pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or some crunchy veggies for a refreshing contrast.
  • Tip 4: Make a larger batch for gatherings. It’s a hit and will disappear quickly!
  • Tip 5: For the best flavor, serve the salad chilled but not too cold. It should maintain its creamy texture.
