Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 stick celery chopped small
- 1-2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
Instructions
- Hard boil your eggs. My preferred method is to time 10 minutes from the point the eggs have started to boil, and then I drain them and rinse them under cool water then let them sit in cold water in the pan they were cooked in until they've cooled (about 5-10 minutes).
- Meanwhile, to a medium bowl, add the mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and some salt & pepper. Stir until it's combined.
- Peel and chop the eggs (chop them as coarsely or small as you like), then add them to the bowl along with the celery and onion. Stir/toss it together, then give it a taste and adjust ingredients if needed (e.g. add more salt & pepper - I am generous with both).
- You can serve it right away or chill it first to let the flavors meld some more. Serve in a sandwich/wraps, lettuce cups, etc.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Recipe makes enough for 4-6 sandwiches depending on how much you stuff them. Halve every ingredient to make the recipe for 2 sandwiches.
- You can also find this recipe on page 218 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials hardcover cookbook.
