Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1.5 cups celery, finely diced
- 0.5 cups red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons green onion, sliced thin (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with water to about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice.
After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool completely for at least 5 minutes. This makes peeling easier.
Peel the cooled eggs and roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, dill (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold the chopped eggs into the mayonnaise mixture until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the egg salad to a serving bowl and garnish with paprika and sliced green onion, if desired.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled, either on its own, with low-carb crackers, or as a lettuce wrap filling.
