Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.25 cup dill pickle, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup celery, finely chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces or mash them with a fork, depending on your preferred texture.
Add the chopped eggs to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold the eggs into the mixture until evenly coated.
Stir in the chopped dill pickle, celery, green onions, and parsley. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste the egg salad and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or hot sauce.
Serve the egg salad immediately on your favorite bread, crackers, or as a standalone dish. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
