Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 teaspoons Creole or Dijon mustard
- 1 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper or to taste
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- bib lettuce or slices of your favorite bread to serve
Instructions:
- PREPARE HARD-BOILED EGGS: Begin by pouring cold water into a large pot. Gently add the eggs and place the pot over HIGH heat. Allow the water to come to a boil, then cover the pot and let it boil for one minute. After that, remove the pot from the heat while keeping it covered. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 6 minutes. Discard the hot water afterward and cool the eggs by running cold water over them. Crack and peel the eggshells, then transfer the peeled eggs to a medium bowl and mash them using a fork.
- COMBINE INGREDIENTS: In a separate medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, celery, capers, dill, parsley, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the mashed eggs to this mixture and stir until everything is well blended. If you're not planning to serve the dish immediately, cover it and store it in the refrigerator.
- PRESENTATION: To serve, arrange the egg salad on a bed of bib lettuce or spread it between slices of bread, along with your choice of greens or lettuce.
