- 2 tablespoons red onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, fresh)

Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes to hard boil.
Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add the chopped eggs, capers, chopped green olives, red onion, and parsley to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste the egg salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
Serve the egg salad immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Enjoy it on toasted bread, crackers, or as a side dish!
