There's your grandmother's way of making egg salad…and there's VideoJug and "CJ" aka Chris Jacobson's way. Were not saying our egg salad is better, but taste for yourself.

Step : You Will Need

  • 5 medium eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1 tbsp green onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp shallots, diced
  • 2 medium slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cups (60ml) garlic aioli
  • 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1⁄3 tsp pepper
  • ½ cups (120ml) olive oil
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste

Step 1: Perfect Eggs

To get the best hard boiled eggs, simmer 5 eggs in boiling water for no more than 9 1/2 minutes and then place them into cold water. In a large mixing bowl, peel and break the eggs apart into chunks, do not chop.

Step 2: Add Flavor

Add 1 Tbsp diced green onions, 1 Tbsp chopped parsley, 1 Tbsp diced shallot and 2 slices of cooked bacon, chopped to the eggs.

Step 3: Add Aioli

While you can use plain mayonnaise in egg salad, try using 1/4 cup (60 ml) garlic aioli sauce instead. The tart and tangy taste will enhance the flavor of the eggs and make the whole dish more enjoyable. Gently fold the contents in the bowl over and over making sure not to mash it all together.

Garlic aioli is made by mixing 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 beaten egg, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/3 tsp pepper. Then slowly mix in 1/2 cup (125 ml) of olive oil until creamy.

Step 4: Add Garnish

Chop some green onion and sprinkle over the egg salad to add additional flavor and color. Refrigerate and enjoy!

    What does he have against Trailer Parks? He needs to learn how to cook eggs.

    Looks pretty good--although those eggs looked undercooked.
