Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 9-10 minutes. Remove the eggs and transfer them to an ice bath to cool before peeling them.

Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the crawfish tails, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, green onions, lemon juice, parsley, cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.

Step 4

Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until well combined. Be careful not to mash the eggs or crawfish too much.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or cajun seasoning as desired.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a sandwich filling, with crackers, or over a fresh bed of greens for a light and satisfying meal.
