Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 4 teaspoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by finely dicing the red onion and celery stalk with leaves. |
| 2 | In a large bowl, combine the diced onion and celery with plain yogurt or mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of kosher salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated. |
| 3 | Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the eggs to the boiling water and cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, until hard-boiled. |
| 4 | Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool rapidly. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces. |
| 5 | Gently fold the chopped eggs into the prepared dressing mixture, ensuring that the eggs are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired. |
| 6 | Your Creamy & Crunchy Egg Salad is now ready to serve! Enjoy it as a standalone dish, spread it on sandwiches, or serve it over a bed of lettuce and tomatoes for a refreshing salad. |
| 7 | Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. |
Tips:
- For added flavor and texture, consider adding diced bell peppers or cucumber to the salad.
- Experiment with different herbs such as parsley or chives for a unique twist.
- To save time, you can use store-bought hard-boiled eggs instead of boiling them yourself.
- Customize the dressing according to your taste preferences by adjusting the ratio of yogurt to mayonnaise or adding more mustard for extra tanginess.
