Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers (any color)
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the bell peppers. Cut each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, and celery. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the egg salad is creamy.
- Season the egg salad with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Spoon the egg salad mixture into each bell pepper half, distributing it evenly among all the halves.
- Arrange the stuffed peppers on a rustic wooden board for a charming presentation, or on a large serving plate if preferred.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a cold, refreshing bite.
Helpful Tips
- For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.
- Add a pinch of paprika for an extra layer of flavor.
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, add finely chopped red onions or pickles to the salad.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The egg salad may need a bit of stirring before serving to restore its creamy texture.
