- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces. Place the chopped eggs in a mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, green onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 6
Rinse the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 7
Spoon the egg salad mixture evenly into the lettuce leaves, creating 'boats'.
Step 8
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of each 'boat' for a pop of color and added flavor, if desired.
