- 0.5 piece small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by at least an inch.

Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, red onion, and parsley.
