Description

A creamy deviled egg salad that blends hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, mustard, and fresh vegetables, perfect for sandwiches, dips, or served on greens. Ideal for family gatherings and sure to be a crowd-pleaser!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
  • Leafy greens (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12-15 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5-10 minutes to cool.
  3. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel from the wider end. Rinse under cold water to remove shell fragments and set aside to dry.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, chop the peeled eggs into small pieces using a fork for texture.
  5. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the eggs. Mix gently until well combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped celery, red bell pepper, chives, and dill until evenly distributed. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.
  8. Stir the salad before serving. Serve on leafy greens, bread, or crackers. Garnish with paprika and extra herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or more mayonnaise before serving.
  • Customize with additional ingredients like diced pickles or capers for extra flavor.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
