Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 2 tablespoons white onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cups celery, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover them with cold water by about an inch.
Step 2
Heat the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit in hot water for 12 minutes.
Step 3
After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for a few minutes. Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, diced onion, chopped celery, salt, and black pepper. Stir them together until evenly mixed.
Step 5
Gently fold in the chopped eggs, making sure not to mash them too much to keep the salad slightly chunky.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the finished egg salad to a serving bowl, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika if desired, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled on its own, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers. Enjoy!
