How to make egg salad with dill pickles

2️⃣ Peel and Chop: Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces. Transfer them to a mixing bowl.
3️⃣ Prep the Veggies: Dice dill pickles, celery, and red onions into small, bite-sized pieces for crunch and flavor.

4️⃣ Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
5️⃣ Combine Everything: Add the chopped pickles, celery, and onions to the eggs. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently stir until everything is well coated.
6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy: Serve on toasted bread, croissants, lettuce wraps, or enjoy by the spoonful. Top with extra pickle slices or fresh herbs like dill if desired! 🥪🥗

Egg Salad With Pickles Recipe Tips
✅ Use Dill Pickles for Classic Flavor – Dill adds the perfect tangy crunch, but sweet pickles work if you prefer a sweeter twist.
✅ Chop Everything Evenly – Small, uniform pieces help the flavors blend perfectly in every bite. 🔪
✅ Cool Eggs Completely – An ice bath helps stop cooking and makes peeling easy. ❄️🥚
✅ Adjust Creaminess – Add more or less mayo depending on whether you like it extra creamy or chunkier. 🥄
✅ Fresh Herbs Make It Pop – Add fresh dill, parsley, or chives for a flavorful, fresh finish. 🌿
Leftovers and storage
