  • Author: Katherine

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (like dill or chives)
  • Optional: chopped celery or pickles

Instructions

  1. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them into small pieces.

    • Start by ensuring your eggs are perfectly hard-boiled. A quick tip is to place them in boiling water for about 9-12 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool. This helps in easy peeling.

  2. In a bowl, mix the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper.

    • The mayonnaise and mustard form the base of your salad’s creamy texture, while salt and pepper enhance the natural flavors.

  3. Stir in the fresh herbs and any optional ingredients if using.

    • Fresh herbs like dill or chives add a burst of flavor. If you want extra crunch, consider adding chopped celery or pickles.

  4. Serve on bread, crackers, or lettuce leaves.

    • This makes for a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in various ways.
