Eggs: Use chilled hard-boiled eggs. While it’s not traditional, if you’re in a rush, you can even make scrambled eggs and chop and chill them. Mayonnaise: Makes the filling smooth and creamy. Mustard: Yellow mustard adds a vibrant tang, it can be replaced with Dijon mustard or a flavored mustard of any variety. Add-Ins: Thinly sliced green onions add flavor, while a bit of diced celery adds crunch and freshness. Fresh Dill: Chopped fresh dill is optional but adds a nice fresh flavor. Fresh dill can be replaced with ½ teaspoon dried dill. Seasoning: Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
