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
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water, about 1 inch above the eggs.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Dice the celery into small pieces and finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced celery, chopped red onion, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
Step 7
Gently fold the ingredients together until everything is evenly combined. Taste the egg salad and adjust seasonings if needed.
Step 8
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.
