Egg Salad With Pickles Recipe Tips

Use Dill Pickles for Classic Flavor – Dill adds the perfect tangy crunch, but sweet pickles work if you prefer a sweeter twist.
Chop Everything Evenly – Small, uniform pieces help the flavors blend perfectly in every bite. 🔪
Cool Eggs Completely – An ice bath helps stop cooking and makes peeling easy. ❄️🥚
Adjust Creaminess – Add more or less mayo depending on whether you like it extra creamy or chunkier. 🥄
Fresh Herbs Make It Pop – Add fresh dill, parsley, or chives for a flavorful, fresh finish. 🌿
