What’s In This Egg Salad with Ranch Dressing?
See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Hard boiled eggs – I use my perfect method for hard-boiling eggs… works like a charm every time – no chipped shells or hard-to-peel eggs.
- Ranch Dressing – I love this ranch dressing because it’s gluten free, dairy free, keto and paleo approved!
- Sweet Relish – to give this dish a little extra sweetness. I love this classic sweet relish which has a nice crunch and a sweet and tangy flavor. It’s great in this salad (like a secret ingredient!) and also great to have on the table for burgers or hot dogs.
- Whole Grain or Dijon Mustard– for a really nice flavor and texture, you can use either whole grain mustard, stone ground, or dijon.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt:I like to use apink Himalayan Sea Saltin my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt.It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommendthis saltif you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
- Tellicherry Peppercorns:Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really goodtellicherry black pepper. Amazon hasa generic brand tellicherry peppercornwhich is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really greattellicherrypeppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.
- Onion Powder: adds a delicious and savory flavor to this dish as well, and the onion powder is great to add a little onion flavor to this dish… without actual onion. Avoid onion breath and use powder onion instead of fresh for this recipe.
- Sandwich Bread – use a gluten free bread if you can’t eat wheat. I like to make my own bread, and they have some great artisan bread gluten free mixes out there too!
