Creating this Lemon Caper Egg Salad is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool and Peel: After the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cool, peel them under running water for easier removal of the shells.
- Chop the Eggs: Coarsely chop the peeled eggs and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Mix Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped capers, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing mix over the chopped eggs. Gently fold to combine until the eggs are coated evenly with the dressing.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad to see if you need more salt, pepper, or lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning as preferred.
- Serve or Chill: You can serve immediately or cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to two hours to let the flavors meld.
