If you’re looking for an easy, allergy-friendly lunch idea, we’ve got you covered with this Mayo-Free Egg Salad!
Egg salad is a classic lunch staple. You can use it in sandwiches, wraps, or even as a dip for crackers or veggies!
But many store-bought (or even homemade) egg salads use mayonnaise, which can contain raw eggs.
That can be a problem! There’s also a ton of other nasty ingredients in mayonnaise that we try to avoid most of the time.
This Mayo-Free Egg Salad is the solution! It has the same classic taste of traditional egg salad without the raw eggs. You can make a big batch at the beginning of the week for easy lunch packing.
You can check out how to make this easy Mayo-Free Egg Salad on my YouTube channel! You’ll see just how simple the recipe is.

Love egg salad!! Will have to try out this recipe with my littles. And it’s the perfect recipe to have my 3.5 year old join as sous chef, as she is always keen to measure, pour and mix during our cookouts. Thanks for sharing :-)
