Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, cover the pot, turn the heat off, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 5

Chop the peeled eggs into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the dressing.

Step 6

Add the celery, red onion, sweet pickle relish, fresh chives, and dill to the mixture. Gently fold everything together until evenly combined.

Step 7

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Step 8

For serving, spoon the egg salad onto lettuce leaves, bread, or crackers for a refreshing presentation. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top as garnish.

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
