Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 0.333 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 piece celery stalk
• 2 tablespoons red onion
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and fill with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs cook, finely dice the celery stalk and red onion. Chop the parsley and set aside.

Step 4

After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Then peel and roughly chop the eggs into small cubes.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a smooth dressing.

Step 6

Add the chopped eggs, celery, red onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for garnish.

Step 8

Chill the egg salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.

Step 9

Serve as a spread on bread, in sandwiches, on crackers, or as a dip for veggies.
