Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs. Place them in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, chives, dill, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
  3. Use a fork to gently mash and mix the ingredients until you reach your desired consistency. For a creamier texture, mash more thoroughly.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing mixture.
  • If you prefer a lower-fat option, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
  • To make this keto egg salad, skip any added sugar and serve on lettuce wraps or keto bread.
