Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled hard-boiled eggs in a medium bowl.
  2. Coarsely chop the eggs with a fork or knife until you reach your desired texture. Some prefer larger chunks, others prefer finer pieces.
  3. Add the mayonnaise, chopped celery, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to the bowl with the eggs.
  4. Mix all ingredients gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep some texture in the salad.
  5. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or mustard for tang.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  7. Serve on toast for the best egg salad sandwich, or use it for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat option, substitute half the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.

  • For a different flavor, substitute the dill with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives.
