Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 stalk celery
• 2 tablespoons red onion
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water, about 1 inch above the eggs.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let the eggs simmer gently for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel the shells off the eggs and set them aside.

Step 4

Dice the celery into small pieces and finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley.

Step 5

Place the peeled eggs in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the eggs into small chunks, or chop them finely if you prefer a smoother texture.

Step 6

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced celery, chopped red onion, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.

Step 7

Gently fold the ingredients together until everything is evenly combined. Taste the egg salad and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately on bread for sandwiches, with crackers, or as a side dish. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
