Easter’s coming and with it comes one of the kids’ favorite annual activities: the dyeing of eggs.

While those eggs are sitting pretty in those colorful baskets Easter morning, by the next night they’re lunch or dinner.

And while some people eat them hard boiled as is, I much prefer them deviled.

But deviled eggs are kind of time consuming to make since you have to remove the shells and take out the yolks before piping them back into the shell.

While I don’t mind doing it sometimes, I don’t always have the time to go through that process.

But taking those deviled egg flavors and putting them in egg salad?

So much easier and every bit as tasty!

And that is the beauty of this amazing deviled egg salad.

It’s creamy, perfectly seasoned, and topped with a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a tasty, pretty finish!

Tips and Tricks

  • For a little more kick add a splash of hot sauce.
  • To peel the hard boiled eggs easily, drop them immediately into an ice water bath after they are done boiling and let them sit in the bath for 5 minutes. The temperature change will help the egg release.
  • If you’re not a fan of diced onion or celery in your egg salad, skip it.

    This was a really good recipe. I did not have celery, so used celery flakes. Next time I’ll either go with the real thing or do without. One note on the recipe – the ingredients list mayonnaise, but the recipe never mentions it. I kind of figured it out on my own :), but you might want to edit. I really did like the flavors together an will definitely make this again!

    1. Thanks, Terri. We LOVE the flavors. I didn’t even notice that– thanks for bringing it to my attention. I’ll take care of it.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who eats this. I had several left over from Thanksgiving and I’m the only one who eats it so I just threw them together on crackers. Quick idea for lunch at work also. Only difference I only add the yellow mustard, sugar, and I have to use Miracle Whip. Sometimes I will add a pinch of vinegar if it tastes too sweet.

    This recipe is great. I don’t care for egg salad, but my husband likes it so I made this for him and I must say, I loved this myself! I use Duke’s mayonnaise and it was perfect, although I didn’t quite put all the listed mayo in it as to keep it thicker for sandwiches. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

    1. I never was a fan of egg salad until I met my husband- he loves the stuff too. This one though won me over too, and remains my go-to!

    Made this as a nice light supper for my mom who is visiting. We thought it was great but added a extra mustard for a bit more of a zing
