Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 stalk celery
- 2 tablespoons red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water, about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let the eggs simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel the shells off the eggs and set them aside.
Dice the celery into small pieces and finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley.
Place the peeled eggs in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the eggs into small chunks, or chop them finely if you prefer a smoother texture.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced celery, chopped red onion, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
Gently fold the ingredients together until everything is evenly combined. Taste the egg salad and adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve immediately on bread for sandwiches, with crackers, or as a side dish. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
