Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Large Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or less to taste
  • 1 rib celery finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 12 hard-boiled eggs coarsely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Bread or crackers or lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add mayonnaise, celery, onion, parsley, mustard, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  • Gently fold in the hard-boiled eggs. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper (I like ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper).
  • Serve on bread, toast, lettuce, or with crackers.

Notes

  • Mayonnaise: I like ½ c. mayonnaise in this recipe, you can certainly use less.
  • Parsley: Or substitute minced dill, tarragon, or chives.
  • Mustard: You can use a different mustard such as yellow mustard, or even ground mustard.
  • Hard-boiled eggs: I love this egg cooker for making hard-boiled eggs.
  • Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
