Ingredients
6 large eggs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dill
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Cover the eggs with at least 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, celery, onions, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Peel and roughly chop the eggs, add to the mayonnaise mixture and toss gently to combine. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
