Instructions
1
Start by hard boiling your eggs if you haven’t already done so. I do this by boiling a pot of water. Carefully lower the eggs into the pot and boil for 7 minutes. Remove from the water and place directly into an ice bath. Let rest until fully cooled and then peel.
2
Place the hard boiled eggs on a cutting board and roughly chop them to your desired size. Place the chopped eggs into a medium bowl.
3
Mix in the dijon, mayo, lemon juice, dill, chives, celery, and red onion. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Serve on toasted bread, or even on its own, and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Ice Bath for Perfect Eggs 🧊Immediately transfer boiled eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and prevent that gray-green ring around the yolk, ensuring creamy, perfectly cooked eggs every time.
- Dice Ingredients Uniformly 🔪Cut celery, red onion, and chives into similar small sizes so every spoonful has balanced texture and flavor distribution throughout the salad.
- Taste and Adjust Before Serving ✨Always taste your egg salad 15 minutes after mixing to allow flavors to meld, then adjust lemon juice, salt, and mustard to achieve the perfect tangy balance.
- Reserve Fresh Herbs for Topping 🌿Save about a quarter of your fresh dill and chives to sprinkle on top just before serving, preserving their vibrant color and fresh flavor that gets lost when mixed in early.
- Chill Before Assembly 🥶Refrigerate your finished egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving on toasted bread to allow the flavors to deepen and prevent the toast from getting soggy immediately.
