Ingredients
6 hard steamed eggs, chilled and peeled
1/4 cup homemade or store-bought mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon zest and 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh juice from 1 lemon
1/3 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup finely sliced scallions, white and pale green parts only
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bread, lettuce, and thinly sliced radishes, for serving
Directions
Combine eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, scallions, and parsley in a medium bowl. Using your hands, squeeze eggs through your fingers, mixing contents of bowl until reduced to desired consistency; alternatively, smash and mix with a firm whisk. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve with sliced radishes, lettuce, and bread to make sandwiches, or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
