Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup cooked ham
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup celery
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Once done, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs into a bowl of ice-cold water. Let them sit for 5 minutes to cool before peeling.
Peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice the cooked ham, celery, and red onion. Add them to the bowl with the eggs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the eggs, ham, and vegetables. Gently fold everything together with a spatula, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the salad for a burst of freshness. Mix gently one last time.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the ham and egg salad chilled. Enjoy as a sandwich filling, in a wrap, or as a side dish on its own.
