It forever changed the way I make egg salad.

The chives bring brightness and depth without overpowering the egg salads flavor.

The super creamy mayo comes together in a few minutes in a food processor.

I only eat egg salad when I make it.

It sounds complicated, but its as simple as throwing all the ingredients in a food processor.

The reason is simple: homemade is always better and Carla’s is especially creamy and super light.

Plus, she adds chives, which gives it a subtle and delicious onion flavor.

Try it once and you’ll understand why.

While those are cooking, you’ve got the option to make the chive mayonnaise.

Carla keeps it simple by having you use a food processor instead of a bowl and whisk.

With the motor running, stream in 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil followed by 1/2 cup roughly chopped chives.

This takes about 3 minutes if you have all the ingredients prepped before you get started.

Stir in one cup of the chive mayo and a bit of fresh parsley.

You’ve just made yourself the most delicious egg salad ever.
