I love salads that are easy to prepare yet packed with flavor. That’s exactly what this egg salad with apple offers! The crunchy apple pieces add a refreshing touch, while the creamy dressing ties everything together beautifully.
This egg salad combines healthy ingredients with rich flavors: eggs provide high-quality protein, apples bring natural sweetness, and mayonnaise adds the perfect creamy texture. It’s a great choice for a balanced yet delicious meal.

4 eggs (small to medium size)
1 apple
1 onion
½ tsp salt
1 tsp mild mustard
100 ml (about ½ cup) mayonnaise (vegan or vegetarian)
Optional: 2 tbsp fresh leeks (green part), chives, parsley, dill, or green onions
Hard-boil the eggs in boiling water. Once cooked, rinse under cold water, peel, and chop into small cubes.
Tip: Boil small eggs for 7 minutes and medium eggs for 10 minutes for a perfect consistency.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Wash, dry, and core the apple before dicing it into small pieces. If using leeks, wash and finely chop the green part.
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the chopped eggs, apple, onion, and optional leeks to the dressing and mix well.
While the salad can be served immediately, it tastes even better after chilling for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
