Ingredients

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried herbs
1 tablespoon mustard
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper or as per taste
Method
- Peel the hard-boiled egg and cut it into 1/2 inch cubes. In a medium bowl, prepare the filling by mixing mayonnaise and mustard. Stir until smooth.
- Add Salt and pepper to taste. A pinch of salt and pepper helps a lot to make the egg salad delicious. Add lemon juice. Squeezing the fresh lemon gives it an amazing flavor.
- Roughly chop the vegetables and add the dried or fresh herbs. Start with a teaspoon, season to taste, then add more to taste. The herbal taste becomes sharper after cooling.
