The best egg salad from The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science (page 821) by J. Kenji López-Alt

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was good, not the best, but good. I like his method for hard boiling eggs and I like the squish everything together with your hands technique. The flavor is best on the first day even though it keeps for 3.
