Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise or less to taste (see note 1)
- 1 celery rib finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons minced onion
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (see note 2)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (see note 3)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 12 hard-boiled eggs peeled and coarsely chopped (see note 4)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- bread or crackers or lettuce leaves, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add mayonnaise, celery, onion, parsley, mustard, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Gently fold in the eggs. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper (I like 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper). Serve on bread, toast, lettuce, or with crackers.
Notes
- Mayonnaise: I like 1/2 cup mayonnaise in this recipe, you can certainly use less (or substitute Greek yogurt or mashed avocado).
- Parsley: Or substitute minced dill, tarragon, or chives.
- Mustard: You can use a different mustard such as yellow mustard, or even ground mustard (start with 1 teaspoon ground mustard, taste it, and see if you think it needs more).
- Hard-boiled eggs: I love this egg cooker for making hard-boiled eggs. Seriously, I use it all the time (Culinary Hill may earn money if you make a purchase through this link).
- Yield: This recipe makes about 4 cups of egg salad, enough for 8 (1/2 cup) servings.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
