Truth be told, we're convinced there's nothing in the egg salad at Augusta National besides eggs, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. We could be wrong, but to be honest, we never really want to know the recipe—the mystery is what keeps it fun. 

In our version, we like a bit of mustard and dill pickle relish, both of which we found add a bit of bite and texture to the finished product. Keeping true to tradition, we did find a way to get that perfectly smooth texture by finely grating the eggs and mashing everything with a fork until well combined. 

To keep it even more real, serve it in a super thin plastic green baggie.  

Ingredients

  • 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and finely grated

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill pickle

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
