Step-By-Step Instructions:

  2. Cut hard boiled eggs in half and remove three of the yolks from the 6 eggs (you should end up with 6 egg whites and 3 egg yolks total). Add to a medium bowl and lightly mash with a fork.

Love the recipe. I did add a few green olives to the other ingredients which is the way my
mom always made it. This makes a great sandwich for dinner with lettuce and a bowl of
fresh blueberries and bananas for dessert.

I always love egg salad and just made this. I've never put Dijon mustard or celery in it and gave this a whirl. I like the crunch the celery gives and the punch the mustard provides. Instead of mashing it with a fork, I roughly chopped then with a knife and used regular mayo since that's what I had on hand. I'll definitely be making it like this in the future.
