Ingredients
  

  • 8 Hard-Boiled Eggs
  • 3/4 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Celery Stalk finely diced
  • 1 Teaspoon Dill Weed
  • 1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Paprika

Instructions
 

  • Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit covered for twelve minutes.
  • Transfer the eggs to an ice bath for five minutes to stop the cooking process. Carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half.
  • Remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl while finely chopping the egg whites.
  • Mix the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, dill, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Whisk until the dressing is completely smooth.
  • Gently fold the chopped egg whites and diced celery into the creamy dressing until combined.
  • Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best results, use eggs that are about a week old as they are much easier to peel. Ensure the celery is diced very small to provide a consistent crunch in every bite. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
