Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Or was it the Egg Salad Sandwich? Hmmm…?
I’m going with the Classic Egg Salad Sandwich! Why? Because I can. Do I really need another reason?
This recipe is why I buy an extra dozen or so eggs around Easter. I LOVE this salad and it’s the only time of year I make it. I’m not sure why. It’s not like I couldn’t make it in July or November, it just wouldn’t be the same. It’s tradition!
My “classic” Egg Salad Sandwich does have a twist. It has all the usual players: diced hard boiled eggs, green onions, celery, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper and then… a squeeze of sriracha for surprise kick!
Mmmm! I can’t wait to dig in to this! I love my Egg Salad stuffed into a pita pocket with a little lettuce. You know, simple and easy! It’s also great on croissants or a hearty whole wheat bread! I’ll even take it straight out of the bowl with a fork. Just don’t tell anyone that, Ok?

I won’t tell now since you were kind enough to share your secret ingredient!
We love egg salad and my guys are crazy for anything spicy. You are brilliant to add sriracha.
I love how you kicked up the flavor with some sriracha! My hubby loves egg salad and I need to treat him to your version :)
Come spring I can live of of egg salad sandwiches! Your looks so tasty!
I love egg salad! Adding sriracha is such a great idea. I typically swap mashed avocado for the mayonnaise and add extra vegetables and eat it like a big salad – no bread needed.
I love the idea of the sriracha! I never had egg salad growing up but I love it as an adult. Can’t wait to try your secret ingredient.
Such a classic use for extra eggs! Reminds me of childhood.
I love a good egg salad sandwich!
