Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.33 cup Sweet pickles (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water by about 1 inch.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5–10 minutes. This will make them easier to peel.
Step 4
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped eggs into a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add the mayonnaise, sweet pickles, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the chopped eggs.
Step 6
Use a fork or spoon to gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 7
Cover the egg salad and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve the egg salad chilled on bread, in a wrap, or as a side dish. Enjoy!
