Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or less to taste (see note 1)
  • 1 celery finely chopped, rib
  • 3 tablespoons onion minced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley see note 2, fresh, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (see note 3)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 12 egg peeled and coarsely chopped (see note 4, hard-boiled
  • salt freshly ground
  • black pepper freshly ground
  • bread or crackers or lettuce leaves, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add mayonnaise, celery, onion, parsley, mustard, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  2. 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.
