Step-by-Step Instructions
- Boil eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Cool, peel, and chop.
- Prepare base: In a large bowl, add chopped eggs and gently mash slightly for desired texture.
- Mix dressing: Add mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice (if using). Stir until creamy.
- Add vegetables: Mix in green onions, celery, and herbs.
- Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well until everything is combined.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors blend.
- Serve: Spread on bread, toast, crackers, or use as a dip.
Tips
- Do not overmix if you prefer a chunkier texture.
- Use fresh eggs for best flavor and consistency.
- Add a little Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
- For extra creaminess, mash one egg completely into the mixture.
