Begin this easy recipe by hard boiling the 6 large eggs and mashing the eggs with clean hands, roughly chopping them with a knife, or using a box grater to grate each egg into a large bowl.
To the same bowl add the remaining ingredients of ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon mustard, 2 tablespoons sweet relish, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Use a large spoon to gently stir all of the ingredients together until combined.
Serve your southern-style egg salad immediately or place it into the refrigerator and allow it time to chill. Enjoy it on its own, on a bed of lettuce, or use it to make the perfect sandwich.

Try not to over-prepare the hard-boiled eggs. Use your hands to mash them into small pieces, roughly chop them with a knife, or use a box grater to grate them. But keep them a little bit big for chunky egg salad.
Add in some chopped green onion, red onion, or celery for additional flavor and crunch.
Use your favorite slices of bread to make a sandwich. Make it fancy by cutting off the crust, perfect to serve at gatherings and baby showers. You may also lightly toast the bread if you prefer, add lettuce, and sliced tomato to make a simple egg salad sandwich for a quick lunch.
If you're boiling the eggs yourself, begin with a large pot of cold water over medium-high heat before adding in the eggs. Boiling the egg in an instant pot is also the best way to prepare the perfect hard-boiled eggs.
