Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5 large hard-boiled eggs chopped
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 3 Tbsp finely diced red onion
  • 1 Tbsp chopped chives
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp paprika
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add ingredients to a mixing bowl.
  • Mix until your egg salad is combined but still slightly textured. Taste, and adjust salt or lemon juice as desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use 10-minute boiled eggs for the best texture.
  • Keep mixing and mashing for a creamier egg salad. The longer you mix, the smoother it will be.
