Consuming too much salt regularly can lead to high blood pressure.
Egg salads are tasty accompaniments to picnics, family meals and cookouts. Although these salads are relatively easy to make, it is easy to accidentally add too much salt. If you find that your egg salad is too salty, don't despair and toss it in the trash. You can salvage your egg salad by adding one or more ingredients that will help to neutralize the saltiness of your salad and make it tasty once again.
Instructions
1. Double your recipe. Most egg salad recipes call for staples such as boiled eggs, mayonnaise and various vegetables. If you double your recipe without adding extra salt, you will dilute the salad's saltiness.
2. Add vegetables such as onions and celery. The texture and flavor of these vegetables can offset the salty flavor.
3. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice. The acidic nature of the lemon juice can help to neutralize the saltiness.
4. Add spicy components such as red pepper, dill or spicy mustard.
