Frequently Asked Questions:

How long does egg salad last in the refrigerator?

Egg salad can last for up to 5 days refrigerated in an airtight container. If you’ve left it out (say at a picnic or a barbecue), for more than two hours, you might want to toss it. Bacteria grows quickly on dairy left at room temperature or higher temps.

What is egg salad made of?

There are tons of variations in egg salad recipes, but this one is pretty standard. It has eggs, mayo, chives, yellow mustard, celery salt, and ground pepper. You could also incorporate chopped celery, red onion, pickled jalapenos, or roasted red pepper to shake things up.

What is a serving size of egg salad?

This depends on how hungry you are and what you’re serving the egg salad with! I would say anywhere between a half cup, to a cup spooned onto a halved croissant is just about perfect.
