Ingredients:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, bread or croissants for serving
Instructions:
To get the eggs ready, first hard-boil them. Put eggs in a pot and add enough water to cover them. Once it starts to boil, turn down the heat and let it cook slowly for 10 to 12 minutes. Take the eggs off the heat, drain them, and quickly cool them down by running cold water over them. After the eggs have cooled, peel them and cut them up into little bits.
Mix the ingredients: Put the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dill, celery, and red onion in a bowl and mix them together. Mix the ingredients together well until they are all evenly mixed in.
Season: Add salt and pepper to taste to the egg salad. You can change the seasonings to your liking.
To chill, put the egg salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes with the plastic wrap on top of the bowl. This will set the flavors.
Serve: Set the egg salad aside to cool. You can eat it by itself, on a bed of greens, or as a sandwich filling with sliced tomatoes and bread or rolls.
Optional: Add a sprinkle of fresh dill to the egg salad before serving to make it look nicer and give it an extra flavor boost.
Enjoy your tasty egg salad that you made yourself!
