Can I use a different type of mayonnaise?

Absolutely! While Duke's mayonnaise is recommended for its distinctive tangy flavor, any high-quality mayonnaise will work. Just be aware that different brands will slightly alter the final taste of your egg salad.

How can I make this egg salad healthier?

For a lighter version, try replacing half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt, which adds protein while reducing fat and calories. You can also serve it on lettuce wraps instead of bread, or use whole grain bread for added fiber.

Why is my egg salad watery?

This usually happens if the eggs weren't cooled completely before mixing or if too much relish juice was added. To fix watery egg salad, add a bit more egg or a small amount of mayonnaise to help bind the excess moisture.

How fine should I chop the eggs?

This comes down to personal preference. Some people enjoy a chunkier texture with larger pieces of egg white visible, while others prefer a more uniform, finely diced consistency. Try different chop sizes to find your perfect texture!
