Simply Egg Salad
Let’s break this down into something simple and scrumptious. Before we get cracking (pun completely intended), let’s gather our ingredients!
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery (for that lovely crunch)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional, but oh-so-delicious)
- Fresh herbs like dill or parsley (just a sprinkle for pizzazz)
- Bread, wraps, or lettuce, for serving
Instructions
- First off, let’s get those eggs boiling! Place the eggs in a pot and fill it with cool water until the eggs are covered by about an inch. Turn up the heat and bring it to a boil. Once it’s bubbly, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Set a timer for 12 minutes — you can dance around the kitchen while you wait!
- After 12 minutes of grooving, drain the hot water and plunge the eggs into an ice bath. Trust us, this cool-down period will make peeling a breeze!
- Now that your eggs are cool and collected, peel them under running water (makes it easier!). Once they’re stripped down to their bare glory, chop them roughly in a bowl.
- Let’s get mixing! Add the mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, celery, onion, and herbs to the eggs. Stir gently — we don’t want egg confetti everywhere!
- Give it a taste. Does it need more seasoning? A dash of extra lemon juice? Adjust to your liking and rejoice in your creation!
- Finally, serve it up! Spoon the egg salad onto your bread or wraps, or toss it in a lettuce cup for a low-carb snack. Enjoy every savory bite!
And there you have it! An egg-squisite egg salad that’s bound to leave you feeling full and fabulous. Share it with friends or keep it all to yourself — we won’t tell! Happy eating!
