Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Hard-boiled eggs
- 200 grams Cooked ham
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 pieces Celery stalks
- 0.5 pieces Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to boil and carefully add the eggs. Boil the eggs for 10 minutes to ensure they are hard-boiled.
While the eggs are cooking, finely dice the cooked ham, celery, and red onion. Set them aside in a mixing bowl.
Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to an ice bath for 5 minutes to cool. Peel the eggs and chop them into small or medium-sized pieces.
Add the chopped eggs to the mixing bowl with the ham, celery, and red onion.
Finely chop the parsley and add it to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the egg and ham mixture and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the egg and ham salad on its own, in a sandwich, or as a topping for crackers or lettuce.
