Instructions
1
|
Start by hard boiling your eggs if you haven’t already done so. I do this by boiling a pot of water. Carefully lower the eggs into the pot and boil for 7 minutes. Remove from the water and place directly into an ice bath. Let rest until fully cooled and then peel.

Place the hard boiled eggs on a cutting board and roughly chop them to your desired size. Place the chopped eggs into a medium bowl.

|
Mix in the dijon, mayo, lemon juice, dill, chives, celery, and red onion. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve on toasted bread, or even on its own, and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Ice Bath for Perfect Eggs 🧊Immediately transfer boiled eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and prevent that gray-green ring around the yolk, ensuring creamy, perfectly cooked eggs every time.
- Dice Before Mixing 🔪Cut all ingredients (celery, red onion, chives) into uniform small pieces before adding to the mayo mixture—this ensures even flavor distribution and a pleasant texture in every bite.
- Chill Before Serving ❄️Refrigerate the finished egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set, resulting in a more cohesive and flavorful dish.
- Balance Your Acid & Richness 🍋Taste as you add lemon juice and Dijon mustard—start with less and build up gradually to achieve the perfect tangy-creamy balance without overpowering the delicate egg flavor.
- Fresh Herbs Go Last 🌿Fold in fresh dill and chives just before serving rather than mixing them in earlier—this preserves their bright, vibrant flavor and prevents them from becoming bruised or discolored.
