How to Make Bacon And Egg Salad

  1. Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and crumble. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  2. Hard-boil 6 large eggs. Once cool, peel and chop.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggs, 1/2 cup crumbled bacon, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped celery.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon bacon grease (reserved from step 1), 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the egg mixture. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
