Ingredients

12 eggs
green food coloring
2 small stalks of celery, finely chopped
60 ml mayonnaise
24 small fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Step 1
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water or the refrigerator and let them cool for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
Prepare the green food coloring in a large metal or glass bowl according to the package directions.
Step 3
Gently crack the eggs without removing the shells, allowing the dye to seep through the cracks and lightly color the eggs. Work in batches, placing the cracked eggs into the dye for about 5 minutes per batch.
Step 4
Rinse the eggs and peel off the shells to reveal the marbled green color. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise.
Step 5
Remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork, then mix in the chopped celery and mayonnaise until well combined. Stir in the green food coloring.
Step 6
Carefully spoon the yolk mixture into the egg halves and top each one with a fresh parsley leaf.
