You can elevate your egg salad to a whole new level by separating the whites and yolks. This method is reminiscent of deviled eggs, but modified for use in egg salad.
Carefully separate the egg whites from the egg yolks by tearing them apart. Put the egg whites in a basin after breaking them into tiny pieces.
On top of the shredded egg whites, crumble the yolks. A creamier egg salad may be achieved by separating the textures in this way.
In a separate dish, mix together half a cup of mayonnaise, one tablespoon of mustard, about quarter cup of finely chopped onion, a couple of teaspoons of chopped chives, salt, and pepper to taste. Completely combine these egg-free ingredients.
Mix the mayonnaise and whisk in the egg yolks and whites. Pour the mixture over the eggs. Add the remaining ingredients and stir gently until smooth and creamy.
Then why does splitting the eggs into whites and yolks result in a creamier salad dressing? The egg whites are coated to perfection with the crushed yolks and mayonnaise, which blend more smoothly and provide a velvety texture. A cohesive, creamy consistency is achieved in every mouthful rather than chunky chunks of egg floating in mayo.
