The Best Egg Salad.

6 large hard steamed eggs, chilled and peeled

1/4 cup homemade or store-bought mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon zest and 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh juice from 1 lemon

1/3 cup finely diced celery (about 1 small stalk)

1/4 cup finely sliced scallions, white and pale green parts only (about 2 scallions)

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Bread, lettuce, and thinly sliced radishes, for serving (optional)

Combine eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, scallions, and parsley in a medium bowl. Using your hands, squeeze eggs through your fingers, mixing contents of the bowl until reduced to the desired consistency; alternatively, smash and mix with a firm whisk. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve as sandwiches with sliced radishes, lettuce, and bread, or as desired.
