heavenly egg salad









Lately every time I have gone to the store I have picked up a dozen and a half eggs. I suddenly had more eggs in my fridge than I knew what to do with. When my oldest asked for an egg salad sandwich for lunch today I was thrilled.

heavenly egg salad (allrecipes.com)
6 eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I used light)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped green onions
salt and pepper to taste

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool and peel. For faster cooling, place the eggs in an ice bath before peeling.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, yellow mustard, lemon juice and green onions. Chop the eggs into big chunks and mix gently with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
