Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to make it:

• Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
• Mayonnaise of any type. Our go-to is Duke's because there's no added sugar.
• Dijon mustard or yellow mustard. Yellow mustard results in a milder taste. Dijon or whole grain mustard give the zingier taste you expect to find.
• Large Eggs. You'll end up with a slightly different ratio depending upon the size you use. The difference is minimal.

Salt and black pepper to taste. We didn't need it!

Add up to a ¼ cup of one or more of these ingredients to make different variations of the recipe:

• Celery
• Chives
• Red onion, finely diced
• Bacon

Ways to Hard Boil Eggs

Here are 2 popular ways to cook the eggs:

1. Air fryer - place eggs in the air fryer basket. Cook at 250 °F for 15-17 minutes. Exact timing varies depending upon your air fryer. Be sure to test with 1 or 2 eggs first if you've never made them this way.
2. Stovetop - place eggs in the bottom of a pot and add water so that they are covered with water with an extra inch or two extra at the top. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then turn off the heat and allow the eggs to sit for 10-12 minutes. The exact time will vary depending upon your stove, pots, etc. However, the time is very forgiving and it's hard to overcook eggs using this method.
3. The next step under either method is to immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice cold water for at least 5 minutes or until cool to touch. The ice bath stops the cooking process. When done remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry.
4. Peel the eggs. Gently tap the end and then roll and crack the rest of the egg. The egg should pop right out.

Once the eggs are cooked and peeled, here's how to complete the recipe:

1. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and place the egg yolks in a small bowl. Chop egg whites into pieces and set aside. The size of the dice is up to you. We used a knife, but use an egg slicer if you have one!
2. Use a fork to crumble the yolks. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar to the bowl.
3. Stir to thoroughly combine.
4. Fold in chopped eggs and any other ingredients you've decided to add.

The recipe yields about 1 ½ cups of salad.
