It always hits the spot.

One of my favorite versions involves a not-so-hard-boiled egg andfresh dill.

For yolks that are set but still ever so slightly soft in the center, 8 minutes is perfect.

It creates an extra-creamy egg salad, contrasting the dry, crumbly versions I remember from childhood camp.

It’s important to fully cool the eggs before moving on.

The yolks can create a soup-like texture if they are too soft and warm.

But the real magic happens when you fold in the fresh dill.

The feathery fronds bring a freshness that takes it to the next level.

Add to a bowl along with the mayonnaise, mustard, and green onion.

Add the dill, season with salt and pepper, then gently stir to combine.

For best results, chill before serving.

I like to eat it any and every way.

Store leftover egg salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
