  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp paprika for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Simmer eggs in gently boiling water for 10–12 minutes. Drain and cool in ice water.
  • Peel cooled eggs. Pat dry, then chop into bite-size pieces.
  • Stir mayonnaise, Dijon, and lemon juice in a medium bowl until smooth.
  • Fold in chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and dill. Mix gently to coat.
  • Add relish if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Dust with paprika. Serve right away or chill 10 minutes for best flavor.

Try a curry twist: add 1/2 tsp curry powder and a squeeze of honey. Or swap dill for chives. Serve on toasted sourdough, in lettuce wraps, or stuffed into tomatoes. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.
