Ingredients
– 8 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and cooled
– Β½ cup mayonnaise
– 1 Β½ teaspoons yellow or Dijon mustard
– 1 green onion, thinly sliced
– 1 rib of celery, finely diced
– 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill or Β½ teaspoon dried dill
– Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1-Boil and cool the eggs properly: Getting started with this egg salad is straightforward and fun, even if youβre new to the kitchen. Begin by boiling your 8 large eggs for about 10 minutes until theyβre hard-boiled, then cool them quickly in cold water to make peeling easier.
2-Separate and prepare the yolks and whites: Once peeled, cut the eggs in half and scoop the yolks into a bowl while finely chopping the whites.
3-Mix the creamy base with seasonings: Next, mash those yolks with Β½ cup mayonnaise, 1 Β½ teaspoons mustard, salt, and pepper until you get a smooth, creamy mixture. This step is crucial for that rich texture everyone loves.
4-Fold in the fresh veggies and herbs: Then, fold in the chopped egg whites, sliced green onion, diced celery, and dill, mixing everything well and adjusting seasoning as needed.
5-Chill and serve in your favorite way: Once itβs ready, chill it in the fridge for a bit before serving on bread, rolls, over lettuce, with crackers, or in a tortilla wrap.
