Ingredients
  • 6 Hard-boiled Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Sweet Pickle Relish
  • 1/4 cup Celery
  • 2 tablespoons Red Onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley

Prepare the Eggs

Gently peel the hard-boiled eggs. Rinse them under cold water to remove any shell fragments.

Chop the Ingredients

Finely chop the celery and mince the red onion. Set aside.

Combine the Ingredients

In a medium bowl, roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs. You can leave some slightly larger pieces for texture if desired.

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, chopped celery, and minced red onion to the bowl with the eggs.

Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to your preference.

Mix Well

Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the salad watery.

Chill and Serve

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended for the best flavor.

Before serving, garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve the Deviled Egg Salad on sandwiches, crackers, or enjoy it as is.
