MAKES 4 TO 6 LETTUCE CUPS
EGG SALAD
8 eggs
4 tablespoons Homemade Mayonnaise (this page)
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
10 chives or 5 green onions, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
LETTUCE CUPS
4 to 6 butter lettuce leaves
Handful of onion sprouts (optional)
Chives, for garnish
Place the eggs in a pan filled with enough cold water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes. Drain the hot water and run the hard-boiled eggs under cold water until cool enough to peel. Dice the peeled eggs and place in a bowl.
Add the remaining salad ingredients, adjusting the seasonings. Place a large dollop of egg salad in each lettuce leaf, garnish with a few onion sprouts, if desired, and additional chives. Fold it up like a taco and enjoy.
