Ingredients

For the Egg Salad:

• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (optional, for tanginess)
• 1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sandwich:

• 4 slices whole wheat bread (or your preferred bread)
• Fresh lettuce leaves (such as Romaine or Iceberg)
• Sliced tomatoes (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Boil the Eggs

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.
2. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for about 10-12 minutes.
3. After boiling, remove the eggs from the water and place them in a bowl of ice-cold water to cool. This will make peeling easier.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Salad

1. Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and vinegar.
3. Stir in the chopped onions, parsley (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
4. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can mash the eggs a bit more, but leave it chunky for added texture.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich

1. Toast the bread lightly, if desired, for extra crunch.
2. Spread a generous amount of the egg salad onto one slice of bread.
3. Add fresh lettuce leaves on top of the egg salad. Optionally, add sliced tomatoes for extra flavor and freshness.
4. Top with the second slice of bread, and cut the sandwich in half for easy serving.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve your egg salad sandwich immediately for the best flavor, or wrap it up for a delicious lunch on-the-go.
2. Pair with a side of chips or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.

Pro Tips
