Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 stalk celery
- 2 tablespoons red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place 6 large eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a saucepan. Cover them with cold water, ensuring there is about 1 inch of water above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it begins to boil, cover the saucepan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
While the eggs are resting, fill a large bowl with ice water. After 10 minutes have passed, transfer the eggs to the ice water bath to cool completely (about 5 minutes).
Peel the eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Transfer the chopped eggs into a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice 1 stalk of celery, 2 tablespoons of red onion, and 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley. Add them to the bowl with the eggs.
In a small bowl, combine 0.33 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the chopped eggs and vegetables. Add 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Gently stir everything together until evenly combined.
Taste the egg salad and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld together. Use as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or serve with crackers.
