I don’t know about you, but I love a good egg salad. Now that I have chickens again, I find myself making this about once a week. You have to get creative with all of those eggs, right? Bill and I love it. I’m excited to share with you my Super Creamy Egg Salad recipe.
How To Make Egg Salad
- First, boil your eggs. Rinse and peel.
- Finely chop the eggs into small pieces. You can use a food processor or do it by hand.
- Add the mayonnaise and mustard. Stir together with the eggs.
- Next, add the dill relish or chopped fermented garlic dill pickles and a splash of pickle juice.
- Add salt and pepper, stir until all combined.
- Chop fresh dill and fold in with a spatula.

What Makes This Super Creamy
It’s the mayonnaise I use. I’ve been buying one from Primal Kitchen that has avocado oil in it and it really does make it extra creamy and heart healthy.
Why Use Fermented Pickles
Fermenting vegetables starts with Lacto-fermentation. It basically converts the starches in the vegetables into lactic acid by the bacteria lactobacilli. This makes fermented foods rich in probiotics. They are excellent for your digestive system. I love adding these to my egg salad. Fermented Garlic Dill Pickles are the best!
