This recipe is a MUST because of the Dijon’s acidity, the lemon’s freshness, and the watercress’s lively flavor. The combination of this dish with wheat bread, watercress, and avocado is ideal. But I can consume it on its own.

It was delicious. I didn’t put the green onions in it but followed the rest of the recipe exactly
Loved this recipe! So fresh tasting and delicious! I did not use as much lemon juice because some lemons are larger than others. Added a dash of smoked paprika! It was amazing.
I give it 4 stars because the taste is fabulous! I like to make recipes exactly as written the first time. I thought the juice of half a lemon was a bit much, and it was. It turned out very runny and I found it impossible to make into a sandwich. Next time I will try half a tablespoon of lemon juice.
We love finding new recipes and trying out different ways of making regular recipes, this recipe turned out great thank you.
Very tasty. The lemon juice is a great idea!
This was the best egg salad I’ve had in a long time. I didn’t have all the ingredients but the lemon juice is what I have been missing, made it taste great!
Simple and delicious! I didn’t have green onions on hand so I substituted some dried chives!
great flavor and easy to make
I chose this because it looked quick and easy. It was! I loved the outcome, I have saved it to make again.
Delicious as a side dish or a sandwich.
Eggcelent!
I did make a change. I did not add dijon simply because i did not have any and I added onion only when i made my sandwich because my husband does not like onion. Also when I made my sandwich, I put Miracle whip on the bread for that little tang I enjoy.
Flavor was good, but I agree with other reviews. Don’t use all of the lemon juice from half lemon. Very tart and soupy result. I had to eat my sandwich with a fork it was too messy to pick up.
It’s good! Just came out a little watery I put to much mayo in there
Nice take on my favorite! Only used a Tablespoon of lemon juice and it was perfect! Thank you!!!
Easy and good. I added a half-spear of sour dill pickle as well as some dry dill.
Add ANY amount of mustard of ANY kind to anything – and thats ALL you’re gonna taste.
Add paprika and pickle relish. As is comes out salty (like I like it) but needs pepper. Will try it with more mustard and hot sauce.
Delicious, and the lemon juice gives adds a nice freshness. I wanted to make this but just didn’t have the green onions on hand. I added celery and dill, but I’m sure it will be that much better when I do have the green onions! Thanks for the good recipe.
I found the lemon juice to be too much…so I reduced the amount by 1/2 and it was much better! This is really delicious!
Excellent. The lemon juice really sets it off!
