Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 small Cucumber
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a pot. Fill the pot with water until it covers the eggs by at least an inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, finely chop the celery stalks, red onion, fresh parsley, and cucumber. Set aside.
Once the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of ice water and let them cool completely for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggs, celery, red onion, cucumber, and parsley.
In a small separate bowl, mix together the low-sodium mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the egg mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
To serve, place a scoop of the egg salad on each lettuce leaf. Enjoy as a wrap or serve as a side dish.
