Description

This creamy dill egg salad is a refreshing twist on a classic favorite. Made with hard-boiled eggs, crisp celery, red onion, and fresh herbs, it’s tossed in a tangy, garlic-mayo dressing for the perfect balance of flavor and creaminess. Great for sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or as a standalone side dish!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

  • 2 Tbsp celery, finely chopped

  • 3 Tbsp red onion, finely chopped

  • 3 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped

  • 3 Tbsp chives, chopped

For the Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tsp lemon juice

  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper

  • 1 garlic clove, minced


Instructions

  • Boil eggs, cool, peel, and chop.

  • Add celery, red onion, dill, and chives to the chopped eggs.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients.

  • Gently fold the dressing into the egg mixture until fully coated.

  • Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For easier peeling, use week-old eggs and an ice water bath after boiling.

  • Swap half the mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.

  • Tastes better after 30 minutes in the fridge.

  • Use fresh dill for best flavor.
