This light egg salad combines diced boiled eggs, red onions, chives, light mayonnaise, mustard, fresh lemon juice, and fresh thyme leaves.

Ingredients

  • 6 boiled peeled eggs, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onions, diced
  • 1/4 cup chives, sliced
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 head butter lettuce

Instructions

  • Place eggs in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the eggs by one inch.  Turn the heat to high, set a timer for 18 minutes, and leave pot uncovered.  When eggs begin to boil, reduce heat to a simmer and boil uncovered.
  • Shock the eggs in an ice cold bath ~ 5 minutes.  Peel and dice.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.  Serve over a bed of lettuce or on toasted bread.  Add a little e.v. olive oil if you'd like it a little thinner and add salt to taste.  Happy Eating! - Beckie

Notes

  • Don't have these ingredients?  No worries.  Try pepperoncini's, capers, red peppers, celery, pickles, radishes!
  • Eggs aren't peeling and playing nice?  Bummer...  There are several tricks but I have found none to be consistent.  You have fresh eggs and that makes them hard to peel.  Take a breathe, gently crack them all over, pry apart the shell, and do the best you can.
