Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole30 compliant mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (check for compliance)
- 1 piece celery stalk, finely chopped
- 0.5 piece small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces large romaine lettuce leaves (for wrapping)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a rapid boil over medium-high heat, then cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from the heat.
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9 to 12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness.
After the eggs have cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool completely.
Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chopped eggs to the mayonnaise mixture and gently fold until everything is combined.
Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface.
Spoon a generous amount of the egg salad onto each lettuce leaf.
Wrap the lettuce around the egg salad and serve immediately.
