Ingredients

8 hard-boiled eggs see note 1
3/4 cup light mayonnaise or full fat will work, see note 2
1 celery stalk diced small
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt see note 3
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

To hard boil eggs, place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough water to cover them completely. Bring to a roaring boil. Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl filled with ice water for 5 minutes.

Notes

While there are instructions to make hard boiled eggs, Instant Pot hard boiled eggs are a great alternative.
Nutritional information is based on using light mayonnaise.
While I think this recipe is great as written, some have said that it is too salty. Tastes definitely vary, especially when it comes to salt, so if you are sensitive to salt, start with half the amount, knowing you can add more as desired.
This recipe makes 1 1/2 cups. You can make a nice egg salad sandwich with 1/3 cup, meaning you can make 4 sandwiches out of this recipe.
