Ingredients
  

6 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 celery stalk, finely diced

2 green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup sweet pickle relish

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish

Lettuce leaves (for serving)

Instructions
 

Begin by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot of water, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to an ice bath to cool. Peel and chop the eggs.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Mix gently to combine.

      Add the diced celery, chopped green onions, sweet pickle relish, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

        Adjust the seasoning or mayonnaise as necessary for your personal taste. The egg salad should be creamy and well-balanced.

          Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

            To serve, spoon the egg salad onto a bed of fresh lettuce leaves or use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
