Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 0.33 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 0.25 cup dill pickle, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup celery, finely chopped
• 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 5

Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces or mash them with a fork, depending on your preferred texture.

Step 6

Add the chopped eggs to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold the eggs into the mixture until evenly coated.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped dill pickle, celery, green onions, and parsley. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Taste the egg salad and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or hot sauce.

Step 9

Serve the egg salad immediately on your favorite bread, crackers, or as a standalone dish. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
