Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs for boiling, the base of the salad
  • 3 tablespoon mayonnaise adds creaminess and moisture
  • 1 tablespoon dill relish for tang and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard for a hint of sharpness
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice to balance the richness
  • teaspoon salt to taste
  • teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper for seasoning

Method
 

  1. Add the eggs to a saucepot and cover them with water. Place a lid on the pot and bring the water to a full boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.
  2. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath or run them under cold water until cool. Peel the eggs and chop them into ½-inch pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dill relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir gently, mashing some of the yolk into the dressing for creaminess.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
