The tang from the Dijon, freshness from the lemon, and liveliness from the watercress make this egg salad recipe a must! This recipe tastes best when paired with wheat bread, watercress, and avocado, but I can eat it alone.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 6 eggs

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

  • ½ lemon, juiced

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, and peel. For faster cooling, place eggs in an ice bath before peeling.

  2. Stir together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, lemon juice, and green onions in a large serving bowl until dressing is well combined.

  3. Chop cooked eggs into big chunks and add to dressing in the bowl. Mix gently until evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper.
