Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs (hard boiled)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped (optional, for crunch)
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (optional, for added sweetness)
- A pinch of paprika (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let them simmer for about 10-12 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water and let them cool.
- Prepare the Salad: Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar (or lemon juice), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
- Combine: Add the dressing mixture to the chopped eggs and gently stir to combine, making sure the eggs are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Add Extra Crunch and Flavor: Stir in the chopped celery for an added crunch and a tablespoon of sweet pickle relish if you like a touch of sweetness. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top of the salad for a fresh, colorful touch. Optionally, dust with a little paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.
- Enjoy: Serve the deviled egg salad on its own, on a bed of lettuce, or as a filling for sandwiches. It’s perfect for picnics, potlucks, or as a quick meal anytime you crave something creamy and satisfying.
