Ingredients
- 5 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt ** see notes
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon sweet paprika
- Optional: 2 tablespoons curly parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Start by making your hard-boiled eggs if you haven’t already.
- Thinly slice the scallions, chop the pickles, and finely chop the parsley.
- Once the eggs are cooked, cold, and peeled, slice each one in half and carefully remove the yolk.
- Add the egg yolks, sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon, and seasonings to a small bowl.
- Using a small masher or fork, combine the mixture until smooth.
- While mashing, add pickle juice a teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Chopped the white part of the eggs to your desired size. I like a chunkier egg salad.
- Add the pickles, scallions, parsley, egg whites, and mashed egg yolks to a bowl.
- Using a spatula, mix gently but thoroughly, trying not to break up the egg whites too much.
- Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, and pickle juice to your liking.
- Enjoy immediately or let it hang out in the refrigerator for an hour if you prefer it chilled.
