Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- Leafy greens for serving (optional)
- Whole grain bread or crackers for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, about an inch above the eggs.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from the heat.
- Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 12-14 minutes.
- After the time is up, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Once cooled, gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Chop the peeled eggs into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold the eggs into the dressing.
- Add the finely chopped celery and red bell pepper, along with chives or dill if using. Gently fold everything together until well coated.
- Transfer the egg salad to an airtight container and cover it tightly. Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve the egg salad on a bed of leafy greens, on whole grain bread, or with crackers. Garnish with additional chives or dill if desired.
