Notes
Eggs: It's important to use fresh and fully cooked eggs. For the best texture, it's also essential to dice the eggs.
Chicken: Dice the chicken into smaller pieces so it's easier to serve it in this salad.
Avocado: If serving the salad later, it is best to add the avocado just before serving.
Bacon: You can either crumble cooked bacon and mix it into the salad or chop it into small pieces and use it as a topping for the salad.
Salad Dressing: Mayonnaise is the most common dressing for egg salad, but you can also use yogurt, sour cream, or a combination of the two.
Chill before serving: Egg salad tastes best when chilled, so refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will also help the flavors to meld together.
