Step 3: Peel and Chop
Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and remove the shell.
Once peeled:
Pat the eggs dry.
Chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
Place the chopped eggs into a large mixing bowl.
Some people prefer larger chunks for texture, while others mash the eggs slightly for a creamier consistency.
Step 4: Prepare the Dressing
In a separate small bowl, combine:
Mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
Lemon juice
A pinch of salt
A few grinds of black pepper
Mix until smooth and creamy.
The mustard adds a subtle tanginess, while the lemon juice brightens the overall flavor.

Pour the dressing over the egg mixture.
Using a spoon or spatula:
Fold the ingredients together gently.
Mix until the eggs are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Avoid overmixing, as this can make the salad too mushy.
