Ingredients

8 large eggs

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup chopped green onion

1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

¼ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.

Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat. Cover and let the eggs sit for 10 to 12 minutes.

After the time has passed, remove eggs from the water and allow them to cool. Once cooled, peel and chop them.

In a bowl, combine chopped eggs with mayonnaise, green onion, mustard, and paprika.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir until well combined.

Serve on your favorite bread, crackers, or a bed of greens.

Notes

For a twist, substitute green onions with pickles or try Dijon mustard for a stronger flavor.

To lighten the salad, swap some mayo for Greek yogurt or sour cream.

Egg salad can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
