Ingredients
  

  • 6 hard boiled eggs
  • ½-¾ cup of mayo
  • ¾ cup chopped dill pickles
  • 1 Tbsp dill pickle juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 2 Tbsp chives fresh or dried
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook your eggs until they are boiled to your liking. Once cooled, peel and finely chop your hard-boiled eggs, then add them to a bowl. I like to grate my hard boiled eggs in my cheese grater!
  2. Next, chop the dill pickles and add them to the bowl. Then add in the mayo, pickle juice, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, pepper and chives.
  3. Toss to combine and adjust the seasonings if needed. You can also add more mayo if you want an even creamier egg salad.
  4. Cover your egg salad and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Serve on your favorite bread, crackers, in a lettuce wrap, or just straight up with a spoon (my favorite!)

Notes

Storage:
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The quicker it's enjoyed, the fresher it will be, and it's best eaten within 3-4 days.
  • Enjoy it chilled, straight from the fridge, or bring it to room temperature to take the chill off.
