Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Hard Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes before transferring them to an ice bath to cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Mix-Ins: While the eggs cool, finely chop the celery, red onion, and fresh dill to ensure every bite has a perfect blend of textures and flavors.
  3. Peel and Chop the Eggs: Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them roughly into bite-sized pieces to maintain a creamy yet chunky texture.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the chopped eggs with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, celery, onion, and dill. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then gently fold everything together until well combined.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Give the salad a taste test and adjust seasoning if needed. Add extra lemon juice or mustard for more tang, and salt or pepper for depth.

Notes

  • Use older eggs for easier peeling and cleaner results.
  • Keep Greek yogurt and eggs chilled for a refreshing salad.
  • Fold ingredients gently to avoid making the salad mushy.
  • Fresh herbs like dill or chives brighten the flavor more than dried ones.
  • Adjust creaminess by adding more yogurt or a dollop of mayonnaise if desired.
