The Simple Ingredient Swap To Prevent Watery Egg Salad
By Julia Mullaney
A classic egg salad recipe calls for onions, but because onions contain water, the salt and sugar in the dressing will bring out its moisture and make your egg salad watery.
However, if you swap your onions for green onions and chives, you will say goodbye to watery egg salad. They both contain much less water than onions and are just as flavorful.
Their bright green color will also pop against the pale yellow backdrop of the egg salad, making a picture-perfect presentation that will wow your family or guests.
You should also avoid ingredients like celery that are loaded with water or mayo substitutes, like Greek yogurt and low-fat mayo.
