1/2 medium red onion, chopped

12 large eggs

1 stalk celery (with leaves), chopped

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

1 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

  1. In a small bowl soak the onions in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, place the eggs and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Cover the eggs, remove from the heat, and set aside for 8 minutes. Drain the water from the pan and cool the eggs in the pan under cold running water. Peel the eggs and cut into sixths. In a large bowl, mix together the onion, celery, mayonnaise, dill, mustard, lemon juice, and salt. Add the eggs to the mayonnaise mixture and gently mix them together. Season with pepper, to taste. Use in sandwiches, with lettuce and tomatoes, or in a salad.

I made this recipe for my husband to bring to work. He called me and told me a co worker had forgotten his lunch and told him he loved egg salad sandwiches and have had them from everywhere but had forgotten his lunch, and bought my husbands egg salad sandwich off him while my husand went to subway. his co worker had called him and told him it was the best egg salad he's ever had and thought it was store bought. <br />I have had no problems with the salt as I added 1/3 cup of extra mayo.
