Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, snipped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  4. Pour dressing over the mixture and gently fold until evenly combined.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  • Mix in pickle relish for a tangy twist.
  • Serve in lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
  • Ensure eggs are fully cooled before mixing to avoid watery texture.
