Egg Salad Dip

Use an egg slicer to finely chop the eggs.

If you prefer a spicier dip, add a bit more horseradish or a dash of hot sauce.

Make sure the eggs are completely cool before chopping for easier handling.

Serve in a hollowed-out bread bowl for a nice presentation.

If the dip is too thick, thin it with a tablespoon of milk or cream.

Try adding a small amount of finely chopped onion for extra crunch and flavor.

If making ahead, cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Remember, the flavors will meld and intensify if the dip is made ahead and refrigerated.

Can I use a food processor to chop the eggs?

Yes, but pulse carefully to avoid turning the eggs into a paste.

Is there a substitute for mayonnaise?

You can use Greek yogurt or sour cream for a lighter version, but the flavor will change.

Can I omit the horseradish?

Yes, but it adds a nice kick to the eggs. You could substitute with a bit of mustard if desired.

How can I adjust the seasoning?

Start with a small amount of garlic salt and black pepper, then adjust to taste.

Can I add other ingredients to the dip?

Try adding chopped chives, parsley, or dill.

How do I know when the dip has the right consistency?

It should be creamy but not too runny, and hold its shape when scooped.

Can I serve this dip with vegetables?

Yes, it works well with carrot sticks, celery, or cucumber slices.

How long can this dip be stored in the refrigerator?
