Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
Optional Add-ins
- Diced celery or pickles (as desired)
- Fresh dill or parsley (as desired)
- A dash of hot sauce or cayenne (as desired)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 to 12 minutes to cook through.
- Cool & Peel: Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then peel the eggs under running water for ease.
- Prepare the Yolks: Slice the boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
- Make the Filling: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, finely chopped green onions, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix everything until the filling is smooth and creamy. Optionally, fold in any desired add-ins like diced celery, pickles, fresh herbs, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Assemble the Salad: Chop the egg whites into small pieces and gently fold them into the yolk mixture until fully combined, creating a textured deviled egg salad.
- Serve or Store: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best taste and texture.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your desired creaminess and fat content.
- For easier peeling, older eggs are preferred over very fresh eggs.
- Optional add-ins can be customized to suit your taste preferences.
- Store leftovers properly to maintain freshness and safety.
