- Discard two of the yolks, saving the remaining yolks for the mix.
- Chop the four egg whites and the two remaining yolks into small pieces to ensure an even distribution throughout the salad.

- If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a refreshing snack later on, or chill before serving to enhance the flavors.
