Ingredients
  

  • 8 large hard boiled eggs
  • ¾ cup mayo
  • ½ teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Roughly chop the hard boiled eggs— you don't want them too large but you also don't want them finely diced. Add the eggs to a large bowl.
  • Add the mayo, mustard, dried parsley, salt and pepper. Stir together until combined. Give the egg salad a taste and add additional salt or pepper, if needed.
  • Serve on toasted bread as a sandwich or with crackers.

Notes

  1. Make Ahead Instructions: The egg salad stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  2. Mayo: To make this lighter, you can use ½ cup mayo and ¼ cup Greek yogurt.
  3. Mustard: You can use whole grain mustard or regular yellow mustard.
