Ingredients
Scale
- 6 eggs, hard boiled
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Hard boil the eggs. Fill a medium sized pot with 3-4 inches of water – enough so that the eggs will be fully submerged once added. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Gently lower eggs into the simmering water using a slotted spoon or ladle. Simmer for 12-14 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to chill for 10 minutes or until completely cooled. I like to prep the rest of the egg salad ingredients while the eggs are cooking and cooling.
- Tips to peel eggs. Tap the wide end of the egg on a cutting board or plate to crack. Flip the egg long ways and gently roll to create cracks all around the shell. Find a loose piece and peel the shell away from the egg white.
- Make egg salad. Chop eggs to your preferred size. Transfer to a medium sized bowl and add mayonnaise, pickle juice, Dijon mustard, chopped pickles, fresh dill, chives, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently mix to combine and season to taste with more salt, pepper, and paprika if needed.
- Garnish and serve. Garnish with extra fresh dill, chives, and a dash of paprika if desired. Serve immediately or transfer to the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. Enjoy!
