Old-Fashioned Egg Salad

Ingredients

• 8 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 stalks celery, diced fine
• 3 tablespoons minced red onion
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 slices sandwich bread, for serving

Before you cook

• Peel the hard-cooked eggs and pat them dry.
• Dice the celery fine and mince the red onion and dill.

Steps

1. Chop the eggs into rough 1/2-inch pieces on a cutting board, leaving some larger chunks for texture.
2. Scrape the chopped eggs into a mixing bowl.
3. Stir the mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice together in a small bowl until smooth.
4. Pour the dressing over the eggs and fold it in gently with a rubber spatula, taking care not to mash the pieces.
5. Fold in the celery, red onion, and dill.
6. Season with the salt and pepper and fold once more.
7. Chill the salad for 15 minutes so the flavors settle.
8. Pile the salad onto bread to make sandwiches, or serve it on lettuce leaves.
