Directions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, parsley, onions, pepper, salt and mayonnaise. Using a whisk, beat the contents thoroughly until the entire mixture is blended. Set aside.
2. Place 8 large eggs and 1 ½ tablespoons of white vinegar in a pot. Add roughly 4 quarts of water. For added flavor, include a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium to medium heat.
3. Once the water reaches a boil, cover the pot with a form-fitting lid and turn the heat down low. Allow the pan to sit on the heated stove for an addition 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Turn the heat off and remove the pot from the stove. Allow the eggs to chill. Drain the water and place the eggs into a bowl with ice water.
5. Peel the eggs by hand. Use a knife or mincer to chop the eggs into diced pieces.
6. Add the diced eggs to your mixing bowl filled with lemon juice, parsley, pepper, salt and mayonnaise. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
7. Add additional seasonings if necessary. When ready to eat, serve over toasted bread or muffins. Egg salads are also a wonderful addition to salads and muffins. Sprinkle grinded cheese and scallions on top for added flavor.
