While the eggs are cooking, finely dice the cooked ham, celery, and red onion. Set them aside in a mixing bowl.

Finely chop the parsley and add it to the bowl.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the egg and ham mixture and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
