Ingredients

  1. 1/2 medium red onion, chopped
  2. 12 large eggs
  3. 1 stalk celery (with leaves), chopped
  4. 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  5. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  6. 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  7. 1 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  8. 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, soak the onions in cold water, for 15 minutes. Drain.

Cover the eggs, remove from the heat, and set aside for 8 minutes. Drain the water from the pan and cool the eggs in the pan under cold running water. Peel the eggs and cut into sixths.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the onion, celery, mayonnaise, dill, mustard, lemon juice, and salt.
  4. Add the eggs to the mayonnaise mixture and gently mix them together. Season with pepper to taste. Use in sandwiches, with lettuce and tomatoes, or in a salad.

I love it I just had some heat to spice it up

I made this but used a pinch of celery salt to replace celery and I added a little pickle relish! Delish! I actually got my hard boiled eggs perfect with no green ring of course that happens when presentation isn’t a factor.

Not a hit at my gathering, people found it too bulky to “dip” – may have been better served on crostini.

What’s the reason for soaking the onion? I would rather have the crunch and the flavor. And, I don’t understand pro chefs calling for a “stalk” of celery. That would be the entire bunch! Each piece is called a “rib”. So glad all of us home cooks know what they are talking about!
