Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the red onion. Set them aside.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth.
Once the eggs are done cooking, transfer them to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them into quarters or slices, depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, chopped parsley, and eggs. Gently mix to avoid breaking the eggs too much.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
