Final Notes for the Homemade Celery Egg Salad Appetizer Recipe
➡️ Egg salad is one of the basic cold appetizer recipes. As a result, preparing a simple salad with boiled eggs is important when you want to make home tasty food and impressive appetizers.
➡️ Classic egg salad means just boiled eggs and mayonnaise. Starting from this simple recipe, nowadays are available many variations including more ingredients from which some of the most popular are ham, pickles, mushrooms, bell pepper, and celery.
➡️ I share on this webpage one of my homemade salad appetizer recipes, one that features raw celery root and green onions or chives. As you probably have already seen in the video, preparing this salad appetizer is a breeze for everyone. Basically, there is no way to make something wrong when you make it!
➡️ Therefore, there aren’t many tips to share with regard to this egg salad appetizer recipe. If you’re asking which is the best way to cut boiled eggs, the answer is that this step doesn’t matter too much because the ingredients are mixed well and egg pieces will break anyway. Personally, I like to cube eggs because the salad is easier to eat and placed on the sandwich, but if you want to slice eggs instead of cubing them, that’s fine as well.
➡️ Those of you who dispose of more time could make at home the mayonnaise (see how to make a basic mayonnaise with the mixer). On this website are available more homemade mayonnaise recipes including garlic mayonnaise, spicy mayonnaise, and yogurt mayonnaise sauce, which can be used to add flavor to your egg salad. However, using mayonnaise bought in the store is fine if you’re in rush or you want to spend less time in the kitchen.
➡️ As for the celery root, you can chop it very finely or grate it for a smoother texture of the salad. Personally, I like to cube it because I like the crunchy celery pieces. Celery root can be replaced with celery stalks.
➡️ Even if you can serve the appetizer immediately as it’s ready, I recommend you keep the celery egg salad in the fridge for some time to combine better the flavors and chill a bit.
➡️ Finally, use this homemade salad appetizer to make sandwiches, egg salad stuffed tomatoes, or other cold appetizers.
