So, here’s the deal—grocery shopping is basically an Olympic sport for me. I find myself wandering the aisles like a lost puppy. Anyway, let’s talk ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need:

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

– 4 hard-boiled eggs (I usually do a little dance when I see how perfect they turn out)
– 1/4 cup mayo (not the low-fat kind—splash that full fat, baby!)
– 1 tablespoon mustard (I use yellow, but honestly, whatever you got!)
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice (fresh is fab, but bottled works too)
– 1/4 cup chopped celery (adds that perfect crunch, yum!)
– 1/4 cup chopped red onion (little bite-sized flavor explosions)
– Salt and pepper to taste (go wild!)
– Lettuce leaves (I use romaine, but butter lettuce is a hug in a wrap)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Alright, real talk. I started making this because I had a ridiculous amount of eggs left over from Easter (like, what do I do with these??). I was kinda panicking, and then *bam*, egg salad just popped into my head—like a chef whispering sweet nothings to me. Plus, it’s super versatile! I can eat it for lunch, snack on it, or even make it for a picnic. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love eating with their hands?

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

The secret? It’s all in the mixing! I mean, you really wanna get all those flavors cozy with each other, like they’re at a dinner party—so let ‘em mingle! I usually give it a good stir, then taste and adjust. More mustard? You got it. A little more zing? Add lemon juice. Just keep trying until it’s perfect for *you*.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

Okay, listen up! I’ve made so many mistakes, and I don’t want you to repeat them.

1. Don’t over-mix: You want that chunkiness, not baby food. Keep it rustic!
2. Taste as you go: Seriously, it’s so easy to just dump stuff in and hope for the best. Try it after each addition.
3. Storage alert: Don’t let it sit out too long—it’ll get watery. No one likes that soggy vibe, trust me.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (which is a big IF), just pop it in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll last for 2-3 days, but I promise it won’t make it that long—everyone loves these so much!
