Simple Egg Salad

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1 stick celery (chopped small)
• 1-2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

Instructions

1. 1

   Hard boil your eggs. My preferred method is to time 10 minutes from the point the eggs have started to boil, and then I drain them and rinse them under cool water then let them sit in cold water in the pan they were cooked in until they've cooled (about 5-10 minutes).

2. 2

   Meanwhile, to a medium bowl, add the mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and some salt & pepper. Stir until it's combined.

3. 3

   Peel and chop the eggs (chop them as coarsely or small as you like), then add them to the bowl along with the celery and onion. Stir/toss it together, then give it a taste and adjust ingredients if needed (e.g. add more salt & pepper - I am generous with both).

4. 4

   You can serve it right away or chill it first to let the flavors meld some more. Serve in a sandwich/wraps, lettuce cups, etc.
