Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Fill the saucepan with water until the eggs are fully submerged by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped eggs in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the dressing to the chopped eggs along with the chopped celery and green onions. Gently mix until everything is evenly combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the egg salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika if using. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
