Ingredients

8 large eggs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp yellow mustard
2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup celery, finely diced
2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Fresh dill or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand 10 minutes.
Transfer eggs to an ice bath. Cool completely, then peel.
Chop eggs into small pieces.
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, relish, vinegar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Fold in chopped eggs, celery, and red onion until combined.
Chill at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with dill or parsley. Serve on bread, toast, or crackers.

💡 Pro Tip: The perfect hard-boiled egg has a bright yellow yolk with no green ring. The smoked paprika is the Gullah touch that sets this apart from ordinary egg salad.
