We love old, simple, vintage, delicious recipes. This easy egg salad recipe with relish is just that. It may be only four ingredients, but it is downright delicious. Egg salad is a favorite of ours during the 40 days of Lent, but it’s also something we like to throw together whenever we need a quick meal. During Lent, we tend to make this Egg Salad with Mayonnaise.

We also love Tuna Salad Coneys, Mom’s Tuna Casserole, Tuna Barbecue and Salmon Casserole for meal planning during the Lenten season.

Boiled Egg Salad Recipe

This egg salad recipe with relish came from Carefree Country Cooking, a collection of family recipes from the St. Patrick Alter Society in Imogene, Iowa. Let me tell you, those ladies knew how to cook.

We love how this is an egg salad recipe without mayo which is very unique. We bet you are wondering what can you substitute for mayonnaise in egg salad? The surprise ingredient is cream of chicken soup which gives it a creamy texture without overpowering the eggs.

This particular recipe serves 2-3 people, but it is easily doubled, tripled or more for bigger families.

How do You Prep Hard Boiled Eggs?

I usually make hard boiled eggs on the stove top, but Megan fixes hers in the oven so she doesn’t have to stand around waiting for water to boil. Many people swear making them in the Instant Pot is the only way to go, and our friend, Leah, shared her method here.

We don’t care how you make them, because they are so good and so versatile. We add them to regular salads, like this Classic Spinach Salad, and we include them in our favorite pea salads – Old-Fashioned Pea Salad and Easy Bacon Pea Salad.

How to Make Old Fashioned Egg Salad Sandwich without Mayo:

This easy egg salad is a simple recipe, and once you have the eggs hard boiled it comes together in a flash.

Hard boil 3 eggs (or more if you have more mouths to feed). Chop the eggs, and combine them with relish, mustard and 1/4 cup cream of chicken soup. Chill to let the flavors incorporate. Sprinkle with black pepper, if desired.
