Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup celery finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • Lettuce leaves for serving
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions
 

STEP 1: BOIL THE EGGS

  • Boil Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12-15 minutes.
  • Cool Eggs: After the time is up, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. This makes peeling easier.

STEP 2: PREPARE THE SALAD

  • Peel Eggs: Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
  • Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, celery, red onion, and dill. Stir gently until everything is well mixed.

STEP 3: SERVE

  • Serve: Spoon the egg salad onto lettuce leaves and sprinkle with paprika for garnish. Enjoy it as a sandwich filling or on its own!
