Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 0.25 cup celery, finely diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. This will make them easier to peel.

Step 4

Peel the eggs, rinse off any shell fragments, and roughly chop them into small chunks.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, hot sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and parsley. Mix gently until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add a little more vinegar or hot sauce for extra tanginess.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled on toasted bread, as a filling for sandwiches or wraps, or with crackers as a dip.
