Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and pepper to taste

8 slices of bread (whole grain, sourdough, or your choice)

Lettuce leaves or arugula for serving

Optional: Sliced tomatoes or pickles for garnish

Instructions
 

Hard Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Then transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes.

    Prepare the Egg Salad Mixture: Once the eggs are cool, peel them and chop them into small pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, red onion, celery, and dill. Mix gently until well combined.

      Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add more mayonnaise or a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

        Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two slices of your chosen bread and place a generous scoop of egg salad on one slice. Top with lettuce leaves or arugula, and if desired, add sliced tomatoes or pickles. Place the other slice of bread on top.

          Serve: Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious egg salad sandwiches with your favorite side, like chips or a fresh green salad.
