Cuisine American
- 6 large eggs
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup light mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream 12% fat
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Once boiling, carefully lower the eggs into the water using a spoon. Boil the eggs for 13 minutes.
Transfer the cooked eggs to an ice bath to cool, making them easier to peel.
While the eggs cool, finely chop the parsley, red onion, and chives. Squeeze the lemon juice.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggs, red onion, mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Mix everything gently until well combined.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator before serving.
